Posted August 12, 200619 yr i searched and i saw posts that say 1/2 volume for 30 min ppl say 2 days 1 1/2 hour each day 15 out of 35 volume. no break in (that is BS i think). witch is best?i have a hifonics running 1000@1Ohm. i was going to do volume 15 out of 35 on my alpine w200 for 2 hours listing to randome stuff. maybe even let the car run and watch some tv for a few hours.should i listen to very bass intence music at low volume? like visionsofthefuture.mp3, ResponseTest.mp3, SubBassEffects.mp3, BassCheck.mp3, ect. all from http://realmofexcursion.com/
August 12, 200619 yr Break in is a myth.Just play at a low volume to make sure the subwoofer is in good order and listen for any bad sounds (scratching, popping, etc). Once it passes that test, play away.
August 12, 200619 yr Author hrm..... i like to paly it safe, as i don't want to have to exchange it becaue i didn't break it in or maybe have to buy another one.

August 12, 200619 yr You can't hurt it now anymore than you can in XX hours of your "break in" it is exactly the same to the woofer. The spider may loosen up in a bit though. As long as it has no mechanical problems set your gains and wang away.

August 12, 200619 yr All i say is dont turn it up loud for a good week or 2 but dont be a sissy and keep it quiet.

August 14, 200619 yr We broke in our DD's before we put them in the 'RexBut that was to loosen the suspension and we used a wall socket.
