You have a nice sub I'd keep it. If I remember correctly the damage was cosmetic and you need a new enclosure.

yes the basket is broke and the box it is in is junk......just worried that the coil is out of allignment and is goin to burn it up....the cone is getting way warmer then it did when it wasent broke..but it was on a junk 4k kole audio amp...now it on a 1200 rms hifonics

Put it in a new box. Heat is normal, and if you added more power more heat is normal.

I would rebuild the sub you currently have.

Highly doubt you will see any improvement in replacing it with the subs you listed.
