right now i have maybe 4 total hrs played,

my gain is set at 0, or the lowest possible, bass control is all the way low, the bass on my headunit is at the lowest setting as well...

it says break it in for 20-30 hrs at moderate volume

should i set my gain to a normal level and just play the sub low? or should i just continue at what im doing now

im afraid setting it to a normal volume will cause too much excursion...

anyone?

    i turned the gain all the way down on the amp and i also had to turn the bass all the way down on my head unit b/c my preouts have such a high voltage
    this way i could play my music loud and not have to worry about blowing em

    after 20 hours i moved the gain up slightly, just use good judgement, after 30 hours i let 'em loose

    Got any recommendation for break in music. I kinda damaged one of my subs playing Nod Your Head Will Smith. Luckily I'm getting a new one so I'll be more carefull with the breaking in.
