[LukeDuke817]

Do I need to or what’s the procedure to break in new subwoofers? Two Sa v2 d4s 12in. Plus new box and SIA 2500 amp.

Congrats. They were mentioning these types of speakers earlier on. If you could place a picture of them on. So I’ll know how the high schoolers liked their music. Sounded like a pile of rubbish. But still make do. Never mind. Here’s a similar product though different numbers on the sundown. 1000 watts. At 4 ohms and Dual voice coil, one speaker is $409.99 dollars. You have two and wow. Nothing. I’m at awe of the price tag.​

No Shade on our resident expert but... lol
I think break-in was the question and with your setup I'd say just set your ssf correctly and let those puppies eat.
New setups can be fun and a learning curve... just use your head and take it slow. Watch for smells and back off, learn your systems limits then enjoy.

The recommended break-in period for a subwoofer is 12-14 hours, although some high-end units may require up to 100 hours of break-in time. The process involves gradually increasing the volume over time to allow the components to settle in and deliver deep bass with minimal distortion.

Take the time to break them in, press down on them now to feel the stiffness and after a solid 13 hours, feel them out again.... I personally put half the rated power to my 2 subs and after a week, applied the proper RMS.

Ok thank you..the sub sonic filter (ssf) right? Needs to be set to what the box and subs hurtz are? The box says it’s tuned to 32hz and subs says recommended 35hz

So I need to keep the knob turned down for a while?

The ssf should be set around 80-120hz.

The ssf should be set around 80-120hz.

Op the ssf should be set dependent on the type of filter, iirc in your case I'd set it 6hz under tuning or 26hz or so.

The advice quoted above would be a ballpark for low pass settings

Opps mixed up ssf & lpf. Ssf should be aroind 5hz below box tuning.

No break in needed..

This is a myth...

You hear distortion or mechanical noise.. Back the volume off till you can't.
