About the break in period thing. Most above average companies will test a sub before it leaves their facility. Im not saying they blast it with everything they've got, but it has most likley already been played to make sure its ok.
Overall I think the break in period is a myth. True the sound a woofer makes will change as it ages, but Ive never ever taken it easy on any sub ive ever owned and I have also never blown a sub either. Dont worry about a retarded break in period because their really isnt anything in a motor assembly that needs breaking in.
There arent any gaskets inside a sub that need sealing, no coolant running around to keep hot parts from thermal meltdown. Its all aircooled and theres like one moving part in a sub, the voice coil assembly, and thats all magnetized.
and for the smartasses out there, i know the cone and surround all move, those things dont count.:thumbup:
break in period?? What break in period.
