This is a super common problem on those, you have to have them re-coned.

I just took some speaker wire stripped of about an inch or so soldered it to the lead then covered in heat shrink, but now it doesn't have terminals it's direct leads

They break right at the underside of the cone..It's like they are brittle or something.

^ yes pix will help. as long as there is 3/8" out the backside of the cone i can fix. will need to run new lead wires. soldering broken leadwires will cause them to break again and maybe even pull out of the backside of the cone...
