I have heard that you should "Warm-Up" a new sub on a low volume when

you first install it. Is this true, and if so what is the best way to do it?

well not all technically true. the sub DOES have to be broken in, you can play it at low level volume and high level but the important thing is here is to NOT have distortion. thats the main thing you have to look for when breaking in your subs.

So, I can play it at any volume that I want right when I hook it up?

yuppers..just so long as you dont hear any distortion. distortion for subs is in my own terms. kinda hard to hear especially in low pass filter. if you can disconnect the front and rear speakers and then play your subs and go from there...popping the trunk/hatch and hearing them ussually works a lil better. then you'll know the max volume you can put on your amp and deck.
