Precisely eight to nine and a quarter hours of play time at a volume no higher than 12 on your Alpine. If you exceed the volume or time limit, you'll have to send the drivers to an authorized Alpine dealer, where they'll have to re-lube the voice coil with a lemon juice and calcium chloride solution.

Just plug them and in start using them as you normally would.

Break in time = overrated

+1 on that. It seems like something people use an excuse for their woofers ******* "oh, they're just not broken in yet".

Although I know with alot of audio equipment, it makes a difference, I just have never noticed anything with woofers. Sure, maybe they might be stiff for the first 2 minutes, but then it should be fine.

That's generally speaker dependent. Some woofers do hit harder after a couple days/weeks b/c the suspension loosens up. Others just come as loose as they'll ever be straight outta the box.
