broken voicecoil "leads" ?

[tylerj 10+ year member]

Speaker wire will fail rather quickly. As I said, small wires and flexing are a bad mix. Only hope you don't run enough power to set the cone on fire when the wires break and burn the insulation at the joint where it meets the cone. Burnt plastic on that terminal should be cosmetic only.
Now you're also pretty hosed from putting a tire patch on the cone with epoxy. you will NEVER get to that coil lead ever again if your repair fails. This is where CA glue is superior since some acetone will take it right off if you need to perform surgery in future.

I am grateful to get the chance to make these mistakes on a > $100 speaker ^_^

thank you for the input

also, in what regard will the speaker wire fail? will the solder break?

It'll most probably fail at the solder joint, but try for yourself. Take 7 inches of that wire and sit there for an hour or two bending it back and forth with your fingers while you're watching a ballgame or something and then peel it down the middle and see how many strands are broken inside.

Figure average bass note is 45hz or so so that's 45 bends per second. There's a reason those tinsel leads are what they are and why they're used for that application.
