dude this has been beat to death.

Just search it.

But since it will be returned with " i did search and could not find my answer"

a sub does not need a break in period. Rather adjust the sub to the rated power via an osc or a dmm. The only thing that will really change is the sound as the speaker becomes a bit more relaxed.

5000 watts out of the box should do the trick

5 minutes break-in time. only time/reason i could possibly see for break-in time is if you're playing a sub in the extreme cold.

x2 on 5000 watts, make sure gain and bass boost are all the way up

No break in time is needed... I take mine outa the box and throw them on the amp, hell the first 3 minutes I had my DC lvl 4 I had it full tilt. as well as all my other speakers

I'm not sure why you are saying that. I 1. gave him the answer and 2. just pointed out that the discussion of a break-in on a sub has been gone over at least a dozen times.

There will be an audible difference in time (but its a sub so who really cares unless its for SQ).
