I've seen it the forums about breaking in your subs.  What are the steps you use to break in your subs? as far as how long?, how much volume? or anything that you guys can pass along.   Thanks in advance.

Here's what our Brahma user manual says about that:

"Break-in is best accomplished once the driver is installed. The first 2 days of use, keep the volume way down. Over 99% of all break-in problems are not from the driver, but from the setup of the system. Any time you change out any piece of gear in your system – including a driver – there is the chance that wires will be knocked loose, gains/controls bumped and set wrong, etc. Spend the first few days finding all these problems. Only after the system has proven to be very reliable and solid (no cutouts as you go over bumps, well balanced, etc) for a minimum of 48 hours should you begin turning it up."
