Yes, provided the basket isn't beat to death, and even then - as long as the magnet is good and the gap isn't deformed, whatever wear and tear you might see is largely cosmetic. Honestly, even if the cone and/or voice coil are toast the basket is usually in great shape. So when the OEM recone kit is used for repair, the speaker is 100% as good as new.
Check with David Miller at Speakerworks. He'll get you fixed up.
