What does this mean?

[jersyn82]

My tinsel leads are broke (I think that's what they're called). What does that mean besides a broken sub? Is it something I did?

They were reconed before I purchased. I wasn't running the amp hard either. Subs are idmax 10's

Need pic... If they are burnt and broke then yes clipped to death

I will get one asap...amp was set with dmm and everything else was off. Never had a problem with this setting with an hdc3. No burn smell, nothing just dead subs

The lead is under the spider? It's hard to see but did it come off the terminal or where did it break at?

They all came loose where they are soldered. This is the first day I've had them hooked up. Bad luck I guess

It almost looks like a cold solder joint that pulled loose. Did both subs do this?

Yes it's glue though not solder after I looked at them good...5 out of 8 are detached at the glue

Are they usually glued on quality subs like these?

Tinsel leads are usually glued or stitched on top of the spider.

On top of it yes I understand that, I'm not talking about on top of the spider

Huh?

Your confusing, as well as yourself. Take a better pic of the actual broken tinsel leads and post them on here.
