codymac88 0 Posted February 14, 2015 Hey guys I just ordered 4 HDS3 12s. I saw the break-in time frame somewhere before, but I can't find it again. What is the recommended time frame for the break in period?? Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmureika 31 Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) This is what SQ recommends on their HDC subs. I couldn't find anything on the HDS subs. We recommend allowing several weeks of playing time to break in SQ Woofers, full break in may take many months. DO NOT play subwoofers at max amplifier power in the first couple of days, give the suspensions a chance to loosen up. As the suspension breaks in, the subs will play lower and louder.

codymac88 0 Posted February 14, 2015 That might have been where I seen it, on the HDCs lol. Thanks! I'm hoping they come in today but it will more than likely be monday, I just ordered them Thursday. But I am stoked!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thumpper 266 Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I have taken 2 weeks to break in woofers and I have hammered them fresh out of the box hosestly I have noticed no difference except that the subs loosen up faster is you beet the shit out of them BUT....... I have ripped new subs apart in -40c temperature , the surrounds were frozen and brokeoff the cones.... ... doubt you'll have that problem Edited February 14, 2015 by Thumpper 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
