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.

what are u talking about? we're talking a bout brakes, not subs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

i tend to smear a little grease on the drum / rotor to make sure braking is nice and smooth.

did u make sure when u did the big 3 to add a extra big wire to your blinker fluid pump? when u make the big DEE BEEEZ, u gotta make sure that pump doesn't slow down.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

no but thanks for the tip. 4/0 welding wire sufficient?

im just making sure when i get everything going i dont turn up my volume to soon and mess up all the soft parts. im gona do 10 hours of midd volume.

Assigning an arbitrary period of time is rather pointless, as is playing it at "mid volume".

First, the only way the suspension is going to get "broken in" is to actually use it. Most reviewers who are trying to "break in" a driver (even though it's for the most part irrelevant, other than verifying the driver is properly-functioning) do so by allowing the driver to reach full excursion. Keeping the volume low isn't going to do anything other than prolong any expected "breaking in" of the driver.

Also, the driver will be "fully" broken in within the first few minutes of a good, full excursion workout. Any additional "loosening" of the suspension will occur either over the life of the driver with regular use or on a purely temporary basis.

In short; Just plug it in and use it like you normally would. It will "break in" over time with normal, regular usage....and keeping the volume low is counterproductive to your goal.

I hope that is further sarcasm. You never want to get grease or oil on your rotors or pads.

Well, personally, I prefer spring-loaded sails when trying to stop in my sub. Just getting them back into the 'go position' is a little tough. I use a high-powered winch.
