tdc3187 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) I have been outta the audio game for a while, now I am back in and with a nice little system **thank you rusty, again this sub is crazy**. So with my last little system I hadn't heard of a break-in period, I am assuming breaking it in for me means take it easy for a couple of days to a week before I play some young jeezy at full tilt. Anyone explain how to embed a video while I am at it. name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350">this typed [ youtube] [ /youtube] minus the spaces.

bkolfo4 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Gotta play it hard to break it in. Not like an engine. Engine still turns full stroke at low RPM. If the sub is not moving, the suspension is not stretching out and breaking in. When you know everything is hooked up correctly, let it rip!

Cashdollar2009 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I was wondering the same thing. I've read in multiple plases to free air the sub at its fs frequency for 10 minutes or so. Give it little power until it reaches xmax, then let it go. I have no idea on the validity of this suggestion as i have not ever done so myself... :/ There are mixed answers everywhere...

STEvil Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Gotta play it hard to break it in. Not like an engine. Engine still turns full stroke at low RPM. If the sub is not moving, the suspension is not stretching out and breaking in.When you know everything is hooked up correctly, let it rip! Incorrect, they only reach their maximum stroke at high RPM, mostly due to internal stresses and heating of course. Wanna prove me wrong? Run a motor at 2,000RPM for ~200,000KM then rev it up to 4,000RPM+ and show me whats left of your rings. The cylinder wall will crack them due to a step that gets made from the ring causing wear.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

I know about motor break in. You missed the point of my post, or you just wanted to be an a$$. The point of this post was not to get into motor break in. The point was taking it easy on the sub does nothing for breaking it in. . .nothing more.
