Well your not too old to know that there is no such thing as a "break in" period.

I don't understand how people argue about this. Does it hurt the sub in any way to play it at low volumes?hmmmmmmmmmmm. If the person wants to do it then let them do it, it does not hurt the sub in any way to play it at low volumes.

/end rant

I know it lol, I guess its just the fact that its not necessary and its just a waste of time. If you feel better doing it then go right ahead and do it though.

Right now I have 1300+ going to it with a Zapco 6.0 bridged mono. Underpowered maybe but I'm curious to find out what the amp is actually putting out cuz the sub is MOVIN'.

Pretty cool mang. I know what you mean about getting too old for this stuff. I used to like whatever pounded the hardest. I was tempted to get the XXX until realized I don't really need something that massive.

would be cool to hear one though.

you dont need magnet bracing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

If the basket cannot withstand the weight of the motor then it is a poorly designed driver.

Other than that it looks nice...but try an Ava 18 and 7.5cuft enclosure double 0.75 baffle and lots of bracing??? heavy? like having a 200+lb fat man lying in the back.

oh and wnag away...break in period is a myth. It will get louder as it breaks in...has nothing to do with the thermal or mechanical limits.

louder as it breaks in? not true of the L7's (only ones i know of anyways)...they were actually louder brand new than they were used. only by like .1-.3 of a db but still, louder.

145 on AC before my ava was broken in

145.1 on Term Lab after it was broken in.

that isnt the first case either.

When i was helping with my friends SPL CRX a few years ago we did an SPL run right out of the box with the DD 3512's and then we free aired them 60Hz @ 120v (the pair wired in series, dual 4ohm coils) and afterwards they where ~ 1 dB louder (0.9) nothing else changed.

woudn't magnet bracing take strain off the baffle?

 

[CBFryman2 5,000+ posts]

yes, but a properly braced/thickness baffle doesnt need any help.

yes, but nothing to do with basket/driver
