fox_racin4 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 SQ says that because the spiders are so stiff. Play them full tilt out of the box on alot of power youll rip spiders amd break tripple joint. 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRON Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think Show Time SPL did a video on "break in" but im not sure. All I know is that over time the suspention of a driver will eventaully change a little bit, regardless of how loud it is played brand new.

It will actually change your impedance/nominal load a bit. Some notice a bit of a gain/amp makes a bit more power in fact. Breaking in, is for sub builders to cover their asses.

Amart88 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have never done a "break in" specific period with any of my woofers. Maybe the first song. They will break in naturally as you play them. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CertifiedIdiot Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Along the same lines, is it safe it assume that measuring the T/S parameters of a brand new sub will be less accurate given that it has not been broken in yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 not any different than a used sub. T/S will constantly change throughout the life of the sub.

Smurfboy Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I always give my sub more time to get loose for at least few days and then let it pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I always give my sub more time to get loose for at least few days and then let it pound. which essentially means you don't break them in for a few days, then you start breaking them in.

gr8handogoatness Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 When I first got into audio I got a pioneer 12 and built a box according to specs by pioneer and it sucked. I wired it up and was dissapointed. Called the shop and they told me to let it break in before I passed judgment. Well I pounded on it and over time it started to hit harder and such. You could push on it and feel a difference in the suspension. Like others have said, pound on it, it will sound better sooner. Break in means, don't be mad yet let it break in. On a side note, during this period you might refrain from really overpowering it and be really careful not to clip that signal. Once broken in you can start to be more daring with amount of power, still shouldn't clip though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
