SOME loudspeakers absolutely do benefit from breaking in. It really has NOTHING to do with damage to the speaker, it has to do with getting them to sound better. As the speaker motor works over time, some components can become more compliant and the speaker simply performs better.

cloak559, if you had a "coil lead snap" either the speaker was poorly designed, it had a manufacturing defect, or you forced it into an over-excursion condition. Damage like that would have nothing to do with "speaker break-in."

Found this article randomly while i was searching for something else, but it looks like it pertains directly to this topic. I haven't looked it all over in that much depth, but its got some useful data and information in it about breaking in subwoofers.

Dan Wiggins from Adire has a really good section in it at the bottom which kind of summed up the article for me after my eyes got blurry from all the numbers, Sub break in period - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.
