that's the way to do it...break in is for optimal SQ and alignments.

also it seems on some higher rms subs you go through a glue phasing that it wants to get hot and cool a few really good times before you hammer on them.. and parts in general like to temper themselves it seems... imo.. which of course takes some heating up and cooling off.. so maybe this is where some break in ideals come from

Well, went to the audio shop today. Didn't get my box carpeted because I had caulked it the night before, and I didn't know it would have to fully dry before they put on the carpet so they didn't do that. However they did route my iPod to my glovebox, tune all my amps, and fix my alternator feedback (ground loop). I also drove off with a new head unit which I didn't plan on doing lol. Since they had to do something with my rca's to fix the ground loop, they were getting hotter and when you would turn the volume up on my Kenwood past 24 it would go into protection mode. That would never work for me. So they had a year old model Pioneer Premier DEH-P510UB on sale for $168, was originally $280, and I got it for $150 installed including a new iPod cable.

My shit sounds perfect now though. I've never heard a better system. Those DC's are finally broken in too and they are so ******** loud. They make my steering wheel shake. Eventually ill take a vid of the flex and shit.

Hopefully in a couple weeks ill go back and get the box carpeted and have that be it.
