Is there anything I can do besides put in a new woofer? Also in speaker freaquency response wich is better 40 to 18,500hz or 29 to 7,000?

To pull out a cone speaker:
take a pin, bend it 90º and
poke it through the cone and
gently pull it back into place.

The better frequency response
is the one with the largest range.
However, I don't know of too many
single drivers that are capable of faith-
fully reproducing 40Hz to 18,500Hz. If you
have a high frequency driver to complement
either of the two that you've mentioned, I would
go with the 29Hz driver for deeper bass and then
complement it with a tweeter that extends well below
7,000Hz and cross it over say around 5,000Hz or lower.
Lots of variables to consider when replacing a driver or
building a pair of speakers.

I don't know what kind of a speaker your trying to repair. So, I can only offer a general answer. At this point, it sounds like that woofer is gonzo. When a woofer gets stuck in (or out), that usually means that the voice coil has suffered damage. You'll just have to replace the woofer. If it is a speaker pair, both woofers will have to be replaced for proper sound balance and frequency range.
When doing so, PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION to the original woofer's impedance rating (4 ohm, 8ohm, whatever). Make sure that the replacement ones have THE SAME impedance rating as the originals.
Frequency response is a very tough call. That depends on where the tweeter (or mid-range in a 3 way system) takes over. Regardless, the replacements will never be "exactly" like the originals. But, in some cases, the new ones might be better.
If this a powered sub-woofer that you are dealing with and the original is rated for 4ohms resistance (some 8ohm woofers are available), a decent car audio woofer could do the trick very well. That is what I did with a sub-woofer. The result was astoundingly excellent. Good luck.
