Fixed tinsel leads on XXX, now frequency response is different?

Two of my tinsel leads split, so I soldered new ones on. The sub sounds fine now, but for some reason comes in A LOT more on the lower end bass now then it used to, and higher frequency sub bass is extremely lacking now, it doesn't even play a lot of higher frequency sub tones that it used to before it broke. I didn't change any settings on the low/high pass filter on the amp or the head unit, or any other settings since it's been broken.

The ONLY thing I can think of is I think we might have used too much solder or got some epoxy on the new tinsel leads, as they are stiff in some parts now. But I figured that would just put them at risk of snapping again if anything, not change the frequency response? It's like it went from hitting a wide range of frequencies well all around, but now it just hits a very narrow frequency range crazy hard, but the rest it barely does anymore. Very wierd.

Anything is better than a broken XXX, but I'm still curious as to what would cause this before I start messing around with the filters

Any explanations?
