hispls Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 "Break in" is a way for manufacturers to weasel out of warranty claims through feeding the consumers a line of bullshit. Take it from someone who runs a lot of power and recones a lot of woofers, if it breaks it's because it was built wrong, or you're abusing it, not because you didn't practice some magical break-in ritual.

Smoove 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 How many times has this been said and no one listens 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefourth Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 whats break in time ..is that how long befor someone steals it I agree Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.
