Is the box sealed or ported? If ported do you have a subsonic filter? If sealed what kind of power are you giving them?

Most likely it may be because your playing under tuning frequency or overdrving the subs so they unload, causing the ripped tinsel leads.

Or it can be defective subs, did you purchase them at the same time?

Definitly not normal for a sub to break. Unless it is defective, you are overpowering them, or you did something else wrong!
