So I got all of my system in yesterday, and will be installing it tomarrow after doing some fabrication to my current sub box. I got the SI BM 10"(that thing is a monster!) and an alpine MRD M605, and a complete 4gauge wiring kit from knukonceptz.com. So my question is, what is the best way to break my sub in? Do i just jump right in with some pounding lows or do i take it easy at first? Also, how long should it take to get it well broken in?

 

Unless it has a specific way to break it in in the owners manual, I just play it easy for about 2 minutes to make sure everything is ok with it and everything is right, then **** on the thing...

 

*** long as its not freezing let her rip

 

Yep, there is no "Break-in"... Just start enjoying for the get go..

 

Well I live in Texas, I'll be doing the install tomarrow, and it is supposed to be 75 so I think I will be alright on the temperature part. I think I'll just keep it down while adjusting amps and then crank er' up!!!

 

good deal man, let me know how it sounds. I was just in fort worth off university today

 

Well my Rockford Fosgate HX2 Punch 12's recommended 30 minutes of low volume, deep bass, then you can crank it...

 

Hey now, watch the language.


Whats the temperature have to do with it though

 

one day I hoped in my car and it was freezing. cranked it up and had a spider come totally unglued

 

Think about it this way... when it gets freezing cold, plastics and rubber gets brittle, you dont want to go full blast untill they warm up a little...

 

Hmm, I always used to think the same way and waited a bit to crank it...but now my stereo is usually going full tilt within 2 minutes of strarting the truck and leaving my house in the morning-regardless if its -20 degrees or 100 degrees outside. Never had a problem with it.
