This is my first time getting brand new subs and I dont want to mess them up. How do you break subs in? These are 2 kicker slim 12's if that matters. Thanks.

step one: mount and wire sub in box
step two: Hook sub box to amplifier supplying rms-ish power.
Step three:........
Step four: Profit
Some people will argue til they are blue in the face that subs need a break in period. Others will say hook it up and let it rip.
I like option 2 because if you are not overpowering your subs...they will loosen up on their own.

I cranked my solobaric up as loud as it would go (ok, it was just equal to the rms :crazy
when I first got it. :jester: It's been flawless for 3.5 years.

"break in period" really depends on the manuf. Check out their website and see if they might have it on there.
lol this is what i do. Fuck it, set it on the console and run it freeair for a while to make sure your wiring is right
i just tap straight in to the power lines above my house, wanna make sure i have enough juice to get it goin
ive always just turned the gain on the amp to half of what i plan to keep it at for a few days then crank it up.
i beat on mine as soon as they are hooked up and i dont have issues. now granted my btl was built wrong so the new cone goes in today...ill be playing on it tomorrow hopefully
well my box is tuned real low...the dd i have in there now cant keep up. about 32hz. anyways was playing it and all the sudden it stopped. we have only assumed that the leads came apart at the coil. oh and it ripped the leads off the spider where they were sewn in. we will see when we tear it down today. my new one i was given a deal on and the guy built it with the leads different to let it go low.
Nice man. What are you going to be up to, Not next weekend, But the one after it? I will be in town on sat, I would love to check the truck out.
Prob be the 22nd. Going over to Charlies(Redlines) shop to get O Scoped. Mini meet ftw. Maybe we could get a few guys together for pictures or something, IDK how long I will be in town since I gotta drive back.
shit man just remembered...i got to work through that weekend...ill get with my boss on monday and see if thats for sure.
IMHO, not the proper way to adjust power levels. When you change gain settings, you change many factors.
Most want you to 'break them in' to reach optimal parameters, as far as loud, install, set gains with a DMM, and rock on.
