The coolest way to break in a subwoofer I have ever seen was from "BareVids". I cant think of his name but he had 6 12's in a 6th order and he would simply place a subwoofer or 2 in his passenger seat with no power hooked up to it. The pressure inside the cabin moves the sub substantially with no actuall power being applied to the sub. Genius. He also showed an ingenious was to hook up 2 subs to 4 subs without strapping them and still always get even output throughout even if the 2 amps aren't putting out the same power. Its how mine are wired. Genius!

👌🏻 Jacob, btw this weekend I contacted Fi (to ask a question) and informed them about your 2 YT channels (in case they were unaware of JV2) and how if I were Fi, I'd be supporting JVs channel(s) in every way possible because if JV chooses Fi as his single choice of sub while striving for mid 150s dB then Fi MUST be a worthy subwoofer brand. Which is mainly why instead of going with Deaf Bonce, Resilient Sounds, Sundown, etc, I'll be going with Fi. Now for the hardest decision, deciding on which model of 15" sub, a single Delta or Omega, or a pair of Team Fi or a pair of what you went with which has an unbelievably low Fs! (Either or will be powered by a Taramps Bass 8K and the adequate electrical to go with it which makes me think wouldn't be enough juice to push a pair of Team Fis)

What i do in daily drivers, I just wire my subs to 4 ohm for a week or so, then bump it down to 1 ohm and it works like a charm. Just not everybody has the patience for that.

At first i thought break-in is breaking the sub, but it's loosening the parts as new parts are stiff.

Best way i found to break a sub in .
20hz test tone moderate volume play for 1.5 hrs for 3 days in a box
Outside a box ( free air ) 20hz with more volume for 1hr, you want the sub to look like its really stroking, you want to hear the sub chaffing as i call it
It's just rapid flow of air thru the breather holes on the former .

Thanks for the info, I slowly work my way up on the volume. It may take a while but it seems to work.

I'm trying to learn . Please tell us if what your suggesting is a good thing or a bad thing. Please make it clearer. And slow down

[cuchsluch]

I suppose that is sound deadener on your subwoofer box? How does that affect the sound characteristics being on the box like that ❓

[davidfarmer]

Like that you are showing this process most don't. But I've seen too many ppl talk crap on great subs because they threw it in and went ham. Not only do the spiders need to loosen up but the coils need to go through a few heating and cooling cycles to allow the coil glue to set properly. With these big power handling subs the coils have to break in properly. Other wise they unwind, glue melts and so on. If you plan on running these big subs plan on taking your time breaking them in.

Is it worth buying a fi 700 sub comparison to a 400 sub, much of a difference?😊

[donellis]

What app can we download to get these frequencies?

[tank]

Thanks for the knowledge Jacob great video as always

[grayfox]

When you mention its not ported, so not free air, what is the gap you put the camera into? Is that not a port or does it have a different name?
Honest question, I am trying to get my memory back after a serious head injury. I qualified at the British academy of new music, but most of it is now gone.

[petergozinya]

Go full tilt on it or the spiders won’t loosen up all the way to the edges. Low frequencies in the 20’s and take it full throw!!

[kdogg]

You still have that crescendo amp man?

[zberzerker]

Great 👍 Video and explanations... I been doing this car audio "hobby" for over 30 years. Slowly breaking in the subwoofers is key 🔑 with the proper amp and voltage ⚡ YOU ROCK BRO...

[MrSMOOTH]

A Jacob do you turn your subsonic up on your bass amp once you've broken in the sub??? Do anyone have the answer to my question???

[jeremyalford]

How do you guys deal with the dreaded new woofer smell??

[fxgamer-yt]

Melt the extra glue form the coil help loosen the the spiders to help with better movement and that helps with the response and lowers the fs by1-4 hz and helps a lot with cooking because the coil doesn’t have to take as much power to move and alround sounds a lot better when broken in

[marioorta]

So is it cool to just leave the sub sonic off
