make sure you bleed them first

In my testing on the Nightshades about ~90% of the break-in occurs when I test them on the bench before shipping for a few minutes. Several more weeks of play may result in ~10% more break-in. Some woofers will vary a bit... but most of the break-in is going to happen pretty quickly.

Stopping distance is a factor for me.

These guys are just being *****. Submarines do not have hydraulic braking systems.

If yours are giving you trouble, look into reverse thrusters.

I like the asbestos ones over the semi-metallic.

my L5 got way louder after about 6 hours of playtime at moderate levels,same with all others.biggest thing i noticed on all my new subs is voltage drop while breaking them in.after they are loose,the voltage drop goes away.atleast thats my experience.

use dot 3 fluid. I tend to go with the ceramics. They wear faster, but less dust. Are these subs chrome?
