it depends on how big the rip is so a closer up picture would be helpful but it doesnt look too bad, use a flexible glue like PVA to stick it back together. but like i said it doesnt look too bad, a rip in the surround isnt as bad as a rip in the cone

You could always take it to an audio shop and see what they say... but the problem with professionally repairing subs is that it often costs more than its worth.

as said above, could cost more than its worth... time for a new sub possibly ... not too bad as you can pick them up for 30 bucks.

The foam surround going around the outside of the subwoofer? These can be purchased from the internet, the old one would need removing with a blade and silicone the new one in place.
