scratching when playing music or scratchy if you try moving the cone at all?

yeah voicecoil unwound or maybe some dirt or something got in there... maybe they got wet and rusted possibly also?

misaligned VC from factory most likely, I think this happens occasionally in the CX64 mids that these closely resemble.
