I suspect that the assembler was using a sharp (dull?) blade to scrape the annealing off of the wire and damaged the fine wire in the process.

I finally gave up on GM speakers and switched brands. No more problems.
In my suburban the cone suspension foam rotted too...I saw $80 a pop for OEM replacements and indignantly hard passed on OEM.
