what glue for subwoofer foam surround?? HELLLP!!!

Hi, i have a 12" Alpine Type R and the foam surround on the speaker has come off all the way around the speaker. Please help me with what kind of clue to use on it, I was thinking of the epoxy glue or the black silicone glue they use on glueing car windshields back on the car. Can somebody help me on what that glue is called and if i can find it at the local Home Depot or something like that? Any help would be highly appreciated. Sorry guys if i posted this question in the wrong category but i thought TSC might consider this as a composite question so i put it in here too.

Most people use silicon, can be found at any hardware store.

Is that the clear silicone or the black one?
