The cone unfortunately got damaged when I removed it. The glue that held the cone to the basket was sloppily applied and the cone got glued to the speaker board. I didn't notice and when I pulled the speaker the cone wasn't ripped but it did almost like an inside-out umbrella.

 The voice coil is still ok. The spider is destroyed. I tried to straighten the cone out but it has creases and bellies in it.
