x2 or if its installed close to a metal surface, the screws used to secure the speaker maybe too long and "grounding" off on the metal (idk I saw it happen once)

But if its under warrenty, given your retailer is a reputable person, go by them dont make a thread here

pigtail either has a short or there is a break in the wire going to the coil

most times its the pigtail either by the terminal or on the cone

please note that even though the freq response for those is stated as 130-15kHz, their effective play range will be much more narrow than that.. i.e. in my experience, those 6" pro audio mids only really come on strong from about 200-300Hz up...

attempting to play anything below 200Hz will just result in unwanted high excursion levels / distortion / high inefficiency..

also, i believe cone breakup usually starts to occur from 4000-6000Hz in those types of drivers, so playing above that isn't ideal either..
