The cones are definitely not fine mate, they have split
you could try bracing the rear of the cone with a glued thin plastic panel

Like in the title i have damaged my subs . I have had a look at them but dont know enough about subs to attempt to fix them on my own . Only a little bit of the rubber on the one is broken but the cones are fine and the rest of the rubber is fine.

The bit in the middle is the bullet, or dust cap. the larger bit is the cone, the rubber bit is the surround  depends on the materials, these could get worse with any use, as the stress will increase the fractures...to be honest, I would say they're knackered mate - I've repaired a few drive units in the past, but subwoofers are under a lot of pressure, and usually the fail again... |

Most PRO audio drivers can be reconed, these being car audio drivers i doubt that they can be reconed. You might be lucky if you took them to your local speaker guy, he may have a cone that will fit the chassis but i image this will end up costing more than the speakers are actualy worth! |

even if you get the cone of the same dimensions, the material will probably not withstand the throbbing bass you're going to throw at it.  how did it happen?
