Subwoofer Confusion


SundownZ71

never had a sub nice enough to worry about break in haha but I remembered this from the soundqubed website

We recommend allowing several weeks of playing time to break in SQ Woofers, full break in may take many months. DO NOT play subwoofers at max amplifier power in the first couple of days, give the suspensions a chance to loosen up. As the suspension breaks in, the subs will play lower and louder.

different company than your sundown, and I think the multi spider hdc requires extra breaking in compared to your sa, but the moral of the story seems to be take it easy, and play on the side of caution

My HDC4s took for fucking ever to loosen up. 3-4 months

not sure how to edit on mobile but just had another thought...

I've heard of people free airing subs on VERY low, CONFIRMED CLEAN power, playing a tone for a day or so to help expedite the break in process. Personally I would be too paranoid to not be within 10 feet the whole time of "playing", but it's an option. Of course I've never tried this... so I could very well be full of shit ;)

The other day I was looking up this "break in" thing. Because I just got a pair of hcca 12s and they are crazy stiff. Also wanted to know how long it took other people running hccas to brake in there's. I seen a video of a guy playing his hccas in his house for 600 hrs!

*whoop, whoop, alert, sarcasm incoming*

Y'all taking way too long to get them things loose yo, tell you what, hit up walmart and get the biggest amp they got, dat new BOSS 5k should work, know'm sayin?, and set subsonic to off (mad lows yo), gain to .2 V (make sure its point 2, otherwise you ain't gettin your full $40 worth from that amp, #BallinOnABudget), and bass boost to max (only if you want hairtricks/grill flex tho, that shits cray cray). Find some bitchin bass heavy music (just go to youtube and type bass boosted, they have lots of great choices) and turn that bish up. Dem subs be flappin in no time ;)

You forgot to raise all bass options on the HU all the way up.

Ah yeah good tip for the n00bs, any real veteran will already have em maxed

Now that I think about it....you could break em in REALLLY fast if you wire em to a 120V AC plug and and stick em in the wall socket

Yeap. Another insider trick is to fill a bucket with water or any liquid really and throw the sub in there after hooking it up to a wall outlet...you know...for cooling and shit
