[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8754100, member: 581422"] I think you two ([USER=591582]@Buck[/USER] and [USER=614752]@hispls[/USER]) are arguing separate issues. It comes down to whether (some) manufacturers specify break-in/warm-up for their drivers as a means to optimize output verses a means to counter warranty claims. If for warranty purposes, I think that would be easily disputed; if a spider literally tears apart (one example mentioned) without the voice coil being burned, that suggests the power rating wasn't exceeded and the spider should have been built to withstand the power rating of the driver. However, if the break-in/warm-up is to maximize the driver's bandwidth, efficiency, and other acoustic aspects, that is (as hispls said) a lot more difficult to prove because a lot of it is opinion.
