This is probably a really stupid question but I'm paranoid and just wanted to make sure. Someone in my family rested one of my raw woofers with the rubber surround touching the ground. I'm not sure how long it's been like that.
I picked it up today and it looks fine other than the surround looks a tiny bit flat, but it seems like it's beginning to go back to it's original shape. Should I be concerned? Was going to use this in a project.

If it is symmetrical rubber, i think shell be right after a bit of movement. Foam id be worried. Asymmetrical or even segregated like the purifi and others would be a bit more concerning also. I think if a purifi surround we crushed it would be hard to return it to its original shape, but i could be wrong.
You say the surround is "rubber" and is slowly returning to its original shape.
In that case, you should have nothing to worry about as the motor mechanism is unlikely to have been damaged.
Playing music with low frequency content through the woofer might hasten the surround's recovery. I think that is in accord with mainframe99's suggestion that it will be all right "after a bit of movement".
