Default Is My speaker blown or bad connection?

Noticed this distortion coming from the speaker today while I was on my way home. I don't know if its blown or maybe a bad connection. I took the speaker out and noticed some small cuts in the speaker wire. I cut before the cuts and re crimped new connectors. The problem is still there. The driver side is fine, no distortion at all. It is a big possibility it was wired wrong, I didn't do the install so I wouldn't put it past it. BTW the speakers really dont get that loud, my stock speakers seemed louder. I will List my setup below.

Head unit: Alpine CDA-9855
Front Speakers: Boston Acoustic Pro 60
Rear Speakers: JBL GT0927
Amp: Infinity 7540A 4ch (111x4)
Speaker Cable: JL Audio 16awg
RCA: Monster 404 XLN XTREME Audio Interconnect (4-Channel)

I know I went cheap on the amp. Kinda kicking myself in the ass for that.

With the battery test the cone should quickly move in or out (try it both ways) with only a single "click" sound, no scratching noises. Also try pushing on the cone with your fingers to see if it makes any scraping noises - it should go in and out without making a sound. Try this both when the battery is connected and when it's not. If it makes noises you either have a mechanical misalignment or an intermittent electrical connection, probably in the voice coil or lead wires.
