Ok, I cant be the first person that this has happened to my saddlebag lid speaker wires broke into because I fill the saddle bags too much and the cargo pushes against the speaker connector.
My question is in repairing it. It would appear that the white wire out of the magnet (which broke super short next to the connectors) just goes to the positive connector tab? And the black to the negative? Its inside the plastic casing that I cant get to open up easily but it appears thats the case. So if thats true (and stop me if its not). Can I just bypass that short part of the wire and connect the longer piece to its corresponding tab directly without the little piece? (Little pieces are too small to salvage.
It seems to make sense but Im not a speaker expert so I thought Id ask first.
No. I assume that is a coax speaker, so therefore the tweeter and woofer of the speaker (wires marked by yellow) need to be connected to that spade, so they may both receive the power and ground provided to that spade from the wire coming from the amp (marked by red). I hope this clarifies the answer. Best fix is add a small piece to those wires, and reconnect them (solder) to that spade.

yes I could have shown you the front of the speaker ( now attached). And yes, I think they both go to that tab. Which was part of my original question. Im going to try it in the morning. Hopefully dont have to spend more money on new speakers
