Breaking in subs

[Dan123196]

I have 2 new alpine type r's and people tell me to break them in first for like a month and online some people say you do and some say you dont. If you do have to break them in how many watts should i run to each sub and how long do i have to break them in for? Thanks

I've never "broken in" a sub and never had a daily system sub fail.

One way-overpowered-china-made sub failed on it's first burp once tho...

DEPENDS on the sub model I reackon... spl subs need to be broken in if you wanna get the most out of them (spiders loosen up and become less tight)

How long should i break them in for and how much power should i put to them?

type R's will be fine, just make sure you set your gains correctly, no bass knobs or bass boost ect
