Smith197 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I just got a new pair of subs. Ive got about an hour of easy play on them. They are being given there RMS or about 50 under. What do you suggest I do to break them in? Just take it easy for a few more hours? I want to slam them but don't want to blow one. Thanks.

Guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 they break themselves in just play them normally. you cant really "blow" a brand new sub unless you clip the hell out of it or you overheat the coils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith197 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I didnt do it. The shop i go to that does great work does. They set the gain. Its set where it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its set where it needs to be. well then if you trust them so much ask them about breaking in the subs instead of us you dont know how they set the gain, so i stand behind the fact that You do not know if it is set to rms... hopefully they have good ears which most good shops do its just nice to know that with the laws of physics ur gain is set correctly, instead of someones ears (rms*resistance)sqrt = ac voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 did u set ur gain with a dmmif not you do not know if u are giving them rms actualy ill argue that. if you dont use a clamp meter then you dont know if you are giving them rms. the dmm can show the correct voltage but you wont see if you have ohm rise.
