Speaker Break-in


What is the best way to break-in speakers?

I was thinking of using my tuner. Can this be done at a low volume or do the speaker cones need to be "moving"?

Yes- Any source will do, and- the more bass the better. If you place them facing one another, close together, with one cabinet hooked up reverse polarity: You can play them louder and shorten the process. The out of phase wave fronts will cancel some of the sound, and it won't drive anyone quite as nuts. The caps in the crossover will be "burning in" as well as the suspensions of the drivers "breaking in". More power = faster results.
Mr A- Yes, it would be the same(BUT- reverse phase on both sections of one speaker).
