my breaking in consists of simply not "jamming out" the first day...

do whatever u want to do lol.

i just like to turn it on very low first make sure it is working. then go back and turn it up low start driving and then just carefully turn it up and then blast it. Aslong as its a well built sub i dont care just go for it but if its like a l7 id break it in

when you first hook it up, try it out at a low volume. like charlie said, just make sure it is working properly.

then crank that sh!t up. let it rip and see what it is capable of. you will notice however it will sound better after it has broken in.

Depends on the suspension... I use physical force to stretch the spiders. I either dependant on how stiff the coil cover is either push on the edges there or use finger tips and gently push on the spiders, you will hear a starchy crackling sound. My SSX suspension is sooo stiff I could put all the force on it I want and still not touch the back plate. Polo..:-)
