You need some white PVA (standard woodworker's glue), a little water, and some thick tissue paper (kitchen roll is ideal) or a small piece of black artist's paper if you want to make it less visible.
First press the damage back so it's as close to flat and closed up as possible - it's likely that all the material is still there.
Tear - not cut - a patch out of the kitchen roll so it's the same shape as the hole and about 1-2cm bigger in every direction.
Then dilute the PVA to about 50%, soak the patch in it, and stick it on the cone - the back is usually better if you can get at it past the frame, although that may not be the case if you punctured it near one of the bolt holes. Rub the edges to 'blend' it into the cone, and add a little more glue if necessary.

Is this really the place to mention a liking for rubber products?

Is this really the place to mention a liking for rubber products? Heh! Sorry, CNR.
FYI PVA glue was the only product TV mnfctrs approved for fire risk. We used it to quieten singing (15kHz) ferrite inductors. Would have thought epoxy but no.
