[QUOTE="pro-rabbit, post: 7962648, member: 551878"] DD has some pretty stiff setups actually. AQ/DD and many others all claim they require break in prior to use. However, it has nothing to do with thermal issues what so ever. It is actually used to help over ride what would otherwise be a warrantied repair. There is a thread where holic and I discuss this topic at great lengths where I was referring to some of my tests over a few prototype drivers (for an unnamed company) and while I didn't believe in break in it appeared to work with those drivers. However, after that discussion and going back over data I actually found that I was wrong and had to rewrite the company explaining my error and exposing what was the weak point of the drivers. There is nothing wrong what so ever with taking it easy on a driver fresh out of the box, but to be honest it is not required on any driver. However, after the suspension is wore down a bit the T/S specs will change as will the characteristics of the driver. Which can of course cause damage if the driver has soft parts that become to weak over a given period of time. [/QUOTE]
