i read the topic based on breaking in a car and home subwoofer a while now. Do all subwoofers apply to the 12volt's way of breaking the woofer?..I know Digital Designs subs, are broken in a different way..I need to know what you experts have to say bout this..th!!

Not sure what you are asking... IMO the best way to "break in" a subwoofer is simply to use it normally.

what i meant was this : Digital Designs Subwoofers..have a different way of breaking their subwoofers which is true..Now my question is : "DO ALL SUBWOOFERS INCLUDING DD SUBS, MUST BE BROKEN IN AS YOU GUYS RECOMMEND?"

Well Skateit ...
... allow at least several weeks of playing time to break in DD Woofers, full break in may take many months. DO NOT play subwoofers at max amplifier power in the first couple of days, give the suspensions a chance to loosen up. As the suspension breaks in, the subs will play lower and louder.

THAT'S THE EXACT SENTENCE USED ON THE DD SUBWOOFER PAGE. BUT THE ONLY MANUEL I KNOW IS "THE12VOLT.COM"...BECAUSE TO MY KNOWLEDGE, EVERYTHING HERE MAKES ENOUGH SENCE TO A NEW MEMBER OF THIS RELIABLE SITE

so if you bought a "brand new" epicenter (white or grey)..and you installed it right away..it'l work well....you're defeating the purpose of subs by saying something like that..subs must be broken in for optimum output in its recommended enclousure...the same goes for the epicenter..it must be tuned for maximum performance..am sure u would understand

Uh I can quote this from AudioQue's site if you need a manual reference.
"We recommend to allow at least several weeks of playing time to break in AQ Woofers, full break in may take many months.
DO NOT play subwoofers at max amplifier power in the first couple of days, give the suspensions a chance to loosen up. As the suspension breaks in, the subs will play lower and louder."
Is that enough of a myth if the builders of a hand built sub tell you to do it?

So if you have a 100 watt amplifier, you can't play it wide open for one week or two weeks?
