its the spider, behind the cone, yes ? a bit of silicone(glue) might be ok
actually, you only need to prevent it from rattling and making noise
some would even cut away some of the spider, to soften and lighten it
edit, I just notice we are in 'subwoofers
so if its a big heavy coned hard working sub driver, it could be a bit more tricky

Yes It Is the Spider Behind the cone. It makes really bad rattling sounds,and its a Alpine SWR 1223d 300 Rms @ 4 Ohms 600 Rms @ 2 ohms. I don't know if you consider that huge? But you think silicone will do the trick?
I had this with a woofer (8") and fixed it with flexible glue, sort of silicone but stronger. And glued fibreglass in it. The difference is that it was the surround, not the spider. If you do try it, try to get the fibres following the spider waveform.
wont last forever, no matter how you fix it, only a little longer 😉
before applying the silicone you could try and secure the broken threads with special glue, maybe carpet adhesive, fast glue, or something

The driver itself consists of glued parts and that lasts for decades.
If you fix it yourself it can last for many years.
I did it the dirty quick way because there was only one good driver left and it's used for testing.
