Depends on the what the sub surround it made from. I've done 4 recones with Fi parts and used Loc-Tite 50 minute epoxy. Scott recommended 20 minute but I couldn't find any and I was afraid that 20 minute wouldn't be enough. I did enough practice runs without glue that 20 minute would have been more than adequate.

I recently built a custom sub from scratch using surplus TC Sounds parts. The high roll rubber surround allowed me to use E6000/Plumber's Goop to hold the surround and spiders to their respective landings. Since it wasn't a kit like from Fi, I used CA glue to hold the spiders and the cone to the voice coil. I thought about using Goop but the coil gets extremely hot and the Goop would have lost its strength. Here's a Photobucket slideshow of the build - link.
