Magnet came off back of speaker

[miked56 10+ year member]

I got a Focal sub, 11", in a box, pre-made by Focal, from a seller on eBay.

When it arrived there was a clanking from inside the enclosure. To figure it out I had to open the box and I saw that the magnet was off the speaker basket. It will stay on if I place it back, by magnetic force.

What can I do to repair this? Is this going to cause any lowering of performance or long-term reliability?

I'll post pics this evening.

I hooked it up to the HU, didn't want to put any big power to it, and could feel the speaker cone move so there must be some functionality Looked like there was glue holding the magnet to the basket.

How are they normally attached?
