Volt meter???

The ONLY thing that you have left that you can do is...
While checking impedance with your voltmeter, find a good way to clip those leads to the spade connectors, now take a finger and GENTLY move the braided wire from the terminal to the cone... watch for BIG changes, if you see some one of these has worn out.
In SOME cases you can resolder a weak/worn out connection but you should also be able to visually inspect and find the bad spot, often where the factory solder or bends are.
Otherwise there is little to be done, since your amplifier is obviously ok.
