[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 4973477, member: 555320"] 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 [I]use[/I] 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 [I]full excursion[/I]. 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. [/QUOTE]
