What are some rules of thumb I should know? Last time, I think I went too hard on her, and that's why I needed to have it reconed... How long (in hours.. whatever) should it take to break it in? How can i tell if it's broken in?
I always suggest just listening to it at moderate levels for a couple weeks... then give 'er a go!!! You will hear the differance between the unit when it is broken in and when you first get it. At first they sound almost overly punchy and stiff... When they are settled in they are very relaxed... almost sounding totally effortless... Trust me, you WILL hear the differance
why is breaking in such a controversial issue? ive heard some people say you should, some people say you shouldnt, some people say the only difference you hear is your ears adapting to the sub i personally believe it should be broken in...i would think it would have to get hot and cool down a few times before you should crank it i thought someone on this forum said breaking a brahma in took a couple minutes?? -Cody
yea.. i'm tryin to be good to em.. but every now and then, i'll crank that shit.. and dammmmn it sounds so, so good. it's pure torture to sit there and listen to em just bump when you know that shit can POUND... so, because of this "adire anxiety", i left my car on playing some bass songs at a medium level.. and by tomorrow, it should be ready to go..
