Just threw the HDC's in

[SPLluminator 10+ year member]

Ive got two HDC10's that i just threw in the car. They sound pretty nice at low listening level. Sound decently punchy as well. Ive only listened to them for a half hour now. Just wondering how long you guys broke them in for.

Btw, im only giving them about 1K each as of now.

i emailed dj and he said we would REALLY reccomend 8-10 hours of break in time. if this isnt done, there is a chance the woofers will have a rattle-like sound. i broke mine in for about 10 hours and i wang on it now with no problems.

Although I don't recommend treating them like I do.... I was burping mine within 24hrs of putting them in and have had no issues. LOL If you want to help break them in faster find a tone cd and let a 40 hz tone run on repeat for 30 min or so at low levels not moving more than a .25 in. That's pretty much all I do.

alum, or copper coils? alum coils are american made, better glue, ect ect, and he said needs no break in.. So depends what you have.

You threw them in? I bet they can do some serious damage like that.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I only broke mine in for like 3-4 hours, and I had no problems what so ever.

Just beat on em, you'll be fine..

how i break in subs is open the box, install, power up, then burp, f it. shouldnt have a prob burping brand new. the suspention is stiff yes but they will get a little louder when loosened up...

Yes the aluminum are american made, but the spider pack is waaayyy dif and if you have 6 or more stiff spiders in ea. they will have to be broke in. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Alums do not have to be broken in, per djs own words....

You are correct sir.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif The difference being 8 xtra stiff spiders which is what I run. I have Aluminum recones from DJ with a retarded stiff suspension. They will take the better part of a month or more to break in.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I just got off the phone with DJ and he says your correct. He also states that if your a nut job like me the subs will need a break in period to be able to take 5k+//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
