breaking in subs real or myth?

90% of users would break their stuff if the manufacturers actually expected consumers to do this.

"i put the gain on halfway cause they said to do half the rms which is 500. my amp is a rockford fosgate t1000.1bd. i dont understand why my subwoofer blew. please help."

There has been more than one long topic about this. There seems to be a new member every week that doesn't know how to use a search bar.
What pro-rabbit said is all true. Break-in is a real occurrence, but all it really does is slightly change a few T/S parameters. Even then, it only takes a few hours playtime for the changes to be complete.

well that new person wasnt me cause I always search before i post , but i might be blind lol

yea I

I like to do it..I mean, sure, if it helps at all, barely much..but hey, it only takes a few minutes, 1 hour playtime tops, and then your setup is just that much better than it was..and isn't that what all of this is about?

Totally real! There's nothing to do, just know the sub will make lower bass after a week or so. Once broke in, you'll need to re shoot the system(if you want to keep a flat response).

Low cost subs will brake in fast, but higher end subs could take weeks or months to brake in.
