how do u know if the wire form your ring termnial to the cone of your speaker has gone bad or shorted
If it's broken in half, or touching the other tinsel lead.

will on my wire if you trim the coat of the wire the wire looks black like it s been burnt and just to make sure u know what i'm talking about its the wire from the termnial on the speaker itself to the cone of the speaker is there a way to fix this
That is what is called a tinsel lead. If it is still intact, but the speaker doesn't work then most likely the voice coil is fried. Tinsel leads are generally a much larger awg than the voice coil wire, so they generally don't burn up. If the voice coil is fried, then the only way to fix it is to have it re-coned by the manufacturer. Maybe you could give us more information about your situation?

just take that off, replace it with a peice of spare wire and test the speaker, if it works then you know that it is the wire, but don't leave that peice of replaced wire on the speaker, that is just a test peice, take it to the manufacterer to have it fixed
while the speaker is playing if i touch the tinsel lead or just move a little it sounds good but when i let it go it starts to sound bad again and was thinking it may be a short in the tinsel lead
Ah, actually it sounds like it's an open circuit. A short would be if one tinsel lead touched the other. I recomend contacting the manufacturer and see how much they charge to fix it.

if its under warranty then you will probally just have to pay shipping
