Here's my take, and the way I do it. The cone is stiff so it can move the air around it. I make cone repair with a paper using acid neutral glue. I have repaired the cone surround with a flexible layer of contact cement that stays flexible so the cone can move freely. This produces a mellow tone as the bass notes are better quality.
