Breaking In Subs???


Recommended Posts

you won't get much better than Ed's answer IMO

there was a similar topic like this when I first joined and Ed said the same thing so I believe it plus he has some badass woofers :D

Thanks man, I do try.

We have done many many tests and found that doing a break in sequence does nothing to change the performance or durability of a sub compared to just installing it and playing normally from the get go.

So far the only company I know that recommends otherwise is DD, and that will depend on whom at DD answers the phone.

i didnt have a problem with my t3's i threw the power at em and they took it like a champ. but i will tell from first hand experience, when it comes to the 3500, 9500, and 9900 series dd's you have to break them in or the will blow up. i put a 9518 in a customers car and he didnt listen to me and cranked it up and within 8 hours blew it up. got the new one in and listen to me and it's still playin to this day

The only reason i have this post is because i have my kicker l7 12 inch for like about 4 days and then sumthing got messed up on it so i am trying to send it back right now for another one. It sounds like sumthing is hitting the cone sometimes and like a weird buzzing noise. Does any1 no what the problem would b???

How did it blow up?

Was it clipped?

Only issue I would see is that the spiders need to loosen up.

can sum1 try to answer my other question that i asked in the post above. Please and Thankyou

could be a glue joint on the coil came loose. So the coil and/or cone is bouncing around making a tapping noise. You will need to get the sub reconed.
