How many hours of play time do you guys have on your woofers for breaking them in.

none. just hook the subs up and wang away. they will break in by themselves through regular playing.

I give mine a couple hours at the very least. Just move up slowly. Up your bass every hour. Make sure your gain is set before upping your bass also of coarse.

I give mine a 45hz sine at about half the power, for 10-15 minutes. Then play regular songs at the same power for a good hour or so.

I just ease into it slowly over a few minutes, making sure everything's happy. That's all the break-in any speakers need IMO.

I just take it easy for one or two hours depending on how stiff the suspension is.

If you pay attention, many subs will make audible changes in their output (both freq response and increased output levels) over the first few hours/days/weeks you play them. Some subs Ive had were quite noticeable, others weren't. Worst Ive ever needed to do was re-adjust my gains and slight EQ'ing. Most people dont even notice probably...
