Zapanater Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Beat the snot out of it. Enjoy the stiff suspension while you can. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh G. Rection Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 sometimes when i have a new sub that has an absurdly stiff suspension i run it free air at 20hz for a few minutes, starting low volume working to high. usually no more than a couple minutes. then i install it and beat the living fuck out of it.

nik12937 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Well, there IS a break in period, but I don't know why people tote it as a good thing, like Zapanater said, the suspension is stiff at first, so it will get slightly louder the longer you've used it, maybe 1 to 2 dB is what I noticed on my 2 P3's, so not much. But that also means the accuracy will slowly decrease. It's a tradeoff... A kid I know says he's running 3000 watts to an MTX sub. I kept my expectations low since most people think MAX is what the amp produces. Look in his car, amplifier is not only a BOSS, but says 3000 watts max, 500 watts rms... WHAT?!

Chode69 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 depends the kind of sub...if its already got a loose suspension...take it easy for a good hour then rail on it afterwards. if you have SUPER STIFF suspension you will HAVE to break in the suspension on easy play for at least a week of solid play. i knocked spiders off the landings of one of my Neos and one of my Level 6s by not breaking them in properly and just railing on them. i fixed them by reglueing them down and breaking them in properly. so yes a break in period is necessary in most instances but length i break in period varies NoFearX18 said: Nick will bang just about anything.....LMAO....pun intended On 4/13/2010 at 9:51 AM, meade916 said: i was like DAMN, Chode is hardcore! he makes james look like a friendly person LOL! trainman0978 said: I dont know who is worse with the buttholes Chode or Big P...
