I haven't done a reconing, but the rubber gasket around the sides of 
speaker cone often dries out and flakes away (on woofers).  Ebay has 
some vendors that will sell you a kit for $25 or so.  What's involved is 
scraping off the old gasket and gluing a new one in its place.  It's not 
that hard (takes an hour or two).  The key is to make sure you use the 
spacers provided to make sure the back of the cone (the part with the 
coil), is centered around the magnet.
