ZachG Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 So I just got 1 of my 12" obsidian reconed cause I cooked one of the tinsel's a few months ago. I decided to invert this time around cause I am gaining about .32 volume. The new sub seems to move less than a quater as much as my old one wired at 2 ohm. I am guessing this is just cause it is stiff? Also not moving air from the port really but im defiantly getting bass. Only turning it up less than a quater for now. Which is my second question. How long does most of you break in for? I was thinking working my way up to 8 hours for full tilt.

ZachG Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 If your gains are set right and you feel you did the recone properly. let it loose.My buddy keith did the recone. He's good. He's got the jeep with 12 12s in a 4th dc audio. Does a 165 I believe and plays everything If you from longisland ny you would know.But I've always been told and heard to break in slowly on a fresh recone? You just crank it? 1998 Pontiac grand prix gtp supercharged2 12" Obsidain Audio V.1 on a 2011 zx1500.1 at 2 ohms. 20ft of Knuconceptz CCA 0 Guage. 2nd Battery is a Shurken BT-120.

TRON Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 "Break-in" is just the time untill the new the suspention settles. I know there's a thread somewhere about it. Think of it like stretching a fresh elastic band for the first time...

Thanks i thought only the cheaply built Fi SP4 was the only one with issues on the tinsels ::sarcasm:: you can play them and eventually it will even out with the other.. that is if its made by the same manufacturer for the same model my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Play it as normal. Break in is simply a term for the sub loosening up during normal use, NOT a separate process that the end user needs to worry about Put it in, play it, be done ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Na, it is best to give it a little time before going all out. At least a few hours.But it usually takes a while to fully break-in and loosen up. Plus, it all depends on the parts used. Did he use a drop in kit? Or just assemble parts himself? Cause if it had soft spiders, and he used stiff ones, that will greatly affect how much it "moves" Kickin' Cruiser Seller Feedback Stage 3 Dash, Door Panels,4th Order wall 4 - 15'son a DC 5.0K 2 DC 5.0K'sSolo X 15 (v.2) Sub Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea I was planning on giving it a few hours before I go full tilt. Kind of like guestimate 2 hour play time then turn it a little past half. But thanks all.
