Apply 50 pounds of force to the cone.

break-in periods are an excuse for shops to not honor your warranty. a sub will break in over time during normal playing, and once it is broken in you will maybe hear a little deeper louder bass. maybe.....

when i was smokin tdx's monthly, i heard from so many people that the tdx/d9's need to be broken in. my first tdx lasted about 8 months, i went through 4 within the next six months, braking in 3 of them. the last one i just installed and rocked out, lasted until i decided to change my setup and the first one i had i just installed and wanged away, it lasted the longest. with everyday woofers, just install them and rock out. never had any problems not breaking in a woofer.

Well... the thing about kicker subs is they're just like every other sub in existance. Just run it lightly for the first couple of days or so...

Then there is something definatly wrong.

Maybe your overrated 1000w amp is the problem.
