I really didn't understand a word of that...

Are you saying that the foam/rubber "surround" (black ring of flexible material around the center cone) is ripped/glued?

If so, use some silicone, make your repair, and let it cure for a couple of days.

Should sound fine as long as there's no air leaking from the front to the back or vice/versa.

I once used fiberglass and apoxy resin to seal a 15' kicker up. It worked, definetly not for show though. Like stated it will sound bad and progressively get worse. Now days you can get **** brand new off of ebay for a 1/3 of the price.
