Im finally gonna get my type r! Hopefully order it by friday. PPl say you have to break in ur subs first. How do i break in my type r? How loud must i play it and for how long? Ill be ran by a 560 rms PA amp for now. Thanx for all the help.
hook it up free air and play it at moderate volume levels for an hour or so. then put it in a box and play it at moderate levels for like 15-20 hours. can be done all free air or all in box. some dont even believe in breaking in a sub.....
just play it at moderate levels for a week or so. Most subs don't really need a break in period, they just don't need to be pushed to the limits the first day. Some of the stiffer suspension subs could do with a slight break in to improve on the response but for the most part you don't want to take a new sub out of the box and make it hit its mechanical limits.
I've had to replace my Type R, * I'm with Kicker now * BUT ANYWAY!... It's takes about 2 weeks to broke them in! But like he said " Just don't push them to there limits on the first day " ...
