Replacement speaker stopped working after 30 seconds

[tpex]

I was driving and my driver side door speaker stopped working suddenly, so I took it out and found out there is no conductivity.

I ordered replacement speaker with same codes and everything but it is from other model of the car brand. (original speaker: https://ibb.co/7tBf75np replacement: https://ibb.co/qMdgjVJv) When I plugged it in it played for like 30 seconds and died. So again I checked for conductivity and found that the same spot is losing conductivy (but other wire, marked in photo here https://ibb.co/qMdgjVJv).

Is there something wrong with the car? There is no external amplifier though. Or I ordered wrong speaker?

Second question is - am I losing sound quality with this wire connector: https://ibb.co/v6B0RcHP I cut out the spot that was bad and the original speaker seems to be working now?

Please provide more details about the wire connector and the nature of the repair.

If it's working, I would call it a day and move on.

How did you check for no conductivity? Ampere test or voltage test near the speaker area. That means not any volts or ampere flowing through the speaker wires. Is the wires corroded? That could be the reason for no conductivity. And don't use TASKPRO multimeter from China. They are selling these at ACE Hardware store for $8.99 dollars each. It is defective. Buy the Wal-mart or Home Depot kind at $40.00 + tx or $49.95 + tx at Home Depot. The reason I say defective, is all it should have done is pop a fuse if connected wrong. Instead it popped the whole probe while still yet in the electrical outlet. Not battery and no fuse to this digital multimeter. I burnt out the whole circuit on this TASKPRO multimeter. Don't buy any cheap brand and from China. It's defective.​
