I just reconed my Kicker Solo X from dual 2ohms to dual 4ohms so i can wire it down to a 2ohm load on my Kicker ZX2500.1. how long should i let it break in before i let it rip

GOOD JOB BROTHA!!!!!

We have reconed the night before for some shows. The crucial part is to make sure the glue is dryed. So if your coming out to the show this weekend they should be more than dry by then if you used CA glue.

Solo X recones don't need CA Glue? They just drop in... Anyways I would take it easy for a week or 2 before you start ripping into it. Gives the spiders a chance to loosen up, don't want to push it close to Xmax when those are still fresh, might end up ripping fibers or breaking glue.

no glue needed slides right in and 8 bolts and your done. but the thing that sucks is they only shipped 1 the other should be here friday i hope so then i can go to the comp and see what numbers i get with full power.

Playing it full power is best to break it in. Don't beleive the myths

Actually most companies that recommend break in will usually tell you something similar to 1/3 RMS power with 20 hz test tones. Some companies say 1 hr, some say 20 hrs, some say 2 days. Sometimes they say free air, sometimes they recommend an enclosure, sometimes just in your car half volume. Some companies tell you not to worry about break in and just wang it once you get it, that's not to say it's the best way to break it in, more like saying not to worry about it. And sometimes companies will break subs in themselves.

ill give tech support a call tomorrow and see what they have to say. ive also heard that subs get louder after they are reconed. for sure im going to be louder im going from 4ohm load only getting half power to 2ohm load and full power. 2 SoloX 10" and 2 Kicker ZX2500.1 hopefully i see a big jump in numbers. so far i hit a 143.8 at the headrest. looking for a 146 with recone

That's to give head room for the people who don't know what that gain nob on their amp does.

Just play it how you did when you first got the sub, after all, that's pretty much what a recone is.

so i reconed my subs and it sounds louder to the ear at a lower freq. than before i use to peak at 53 now it sound likes its at about 47 does reconing subs do this. i went from a 4ohm load to 2ohms?
