Even after the caulk/resin/foam door jam to keep the door from opening and shutting from the subs, still get a little door flex yet. It's so hard to open and close the doors that the handles are breaking off.

I just couldnt wait to add the 2nd alt anymore, put the subs in, instead of "saving power" by setting the LP way down at 31.5Hz I set it way up at 100Hz and added P-EQ at 22Hz with +7dB and a Q of 1... perfect! So much louder yet so much easier on the alt...and no more excursion issues!

at the end of this video you see that even after the caulk/resin/foam jams I made, even with the windows down part way (it's much worse with the windows all the way up), the subs still flex the doors open far enough to see inside/outside the van with the doors shut all the way :(

at first the 7"ers and 4.5"ers are on for a split second, but I turned them off right away to show they are moving from the subs, later in I turn them back on

after making those subsonic vids, crazy thing happened. I was listening today lower than usual yet really low songs were much louder than usual. subs broke in. I dont understand how some people dont believe in driver break in, I have the softest suspension you can get: single soft spider and single layer surround. I had the crossover at 100Hz and P-EQ at 22Hz Q of 1 +7dB, now I am LP at 200Hz (lost my highs after break in) and brought the P-EQ down to +4dB.

swear I made a wotws last summer when i got the subs in, guess not, made this last nite: wotws dts has no lows, but bassotronics has massive output? w505 must HP movies!

korn another brick in the wall

People do believe in break-in, its the definition of break-in that some are confused with. Break-in does not mean playing your sub with 10 watts for a few weeks, it means the suspension will loosen up some (as you noticed in your application) among others things.

insane build man... those windows def wanna break... :morepower1:

I know some do, but a lot don't for some reason. I still see threads pop up here and there with heated arguments. I am all about free-air break in for long periods of time near Xmax, as was attempted with these subs. The subs in this vid I reconed, broke in just playing around with a pair of EP4000s in my house, then I had them in my towers for a couple weeks until the brand new subs came. I guess I am a lot harder on them in the van than the HT :D
