wmrcs Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I ordered an SA-8 v.1 and I don't want to wait for a few weeks for it to break in so how do I go about breaking it in via free air? I've never done it before. How much power? What frequencies and where can I get some of the tracks? Thanks, Will Quote E34 540iT/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatersGonnaHate Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 ^^^^^^ This. Low power and a lower Hz test tone I believe.... I think between 25 and 35 should get the spiders broken in enough. I usually just play them on low power for a while, but never free aired them.

CHEVY4X4BLAZER Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 If I were to "free air break in" a sub... I would play a test tone at the woofer's resonant frequency on my home receiver. I hook up my laptop that has a tone generator to the receiver and increase volume until the sub is moving around half of it's xmax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hook up my laptop that has a tone generator to the receiver and increase volume until the sub is moving around half of it's xmax. Playing at the Fs of a woofer will cause it to not move as much, and in theory heat up the coil pretty quickly due to little air movement in the pole vent.
