Use apoxy. If not that, use super glue. Be carefull with both.

Epoxy over super glue.

In both cases be very very careful

Both, but more the woofer because thats not gonna come off without damage.

The best thing to use to attach a cone or dustcap back to a sub is Rubber weather stripping glue. it's made to re-attach your weather stripping molding around your trunk or doors. you can buy it at pep boys or a similar auto store. it comes in a tube and is basically black rubber drying type glue. i used it on a few subs where the dustcap started separating from the cone. it always worked flawlessly for me. i still have an old Kicker KSR that has that glue on it for over a year and it still sounded brand new when i took it out of my car.
