Ok, So does a new subwoofer need to be broken in before playing it really hard? What is the procedure with a new subwoofer?

Set your amps properly and lets the bass drop. Break in will happen naturally over time .

You may here different opinions. But i say if it's a quality sub, hook it up and let it pound. It will break in after you have banged on it for a while.

OP, looks like you got 3 of the same answers at the same time. So i guess that should pretty much answer your question.

I read some subs said wait like a month. So you guys just say fuck it and go in huh?

I've never heard the wait a month theory. What would be the reason and evidence of such a statement? Have you ever heard of waiting a month to crank up your component speakers? No. Now after a month once they (subs) start to loosen up, they should sound better on the low end.

I have almost always broken my subs in free air. Mainly the subs with stiff suspension.

Soundqubed recommends several weeks before playing their subs full tilt lol even says it on their website, idk if they have done testing with this theory or not though
