Subwoofer Break-In Frequency Sweep 40hz-20hz (50min) Bass Test 

Really glad it's working out for you, to be honest i never thought a sine wave i made with audacity could be this helpful and demanded. Cheers.

I tried it in the enclosure at 26 hz for like 10 min in the car with me in it at volume 10, after I got out of the car my head was humming 🥴

I’m weak

@@Catholic1391 your body should've been high vibing afterwards 😎👍

Make sure the drunk friend is the one who is driving for added excitement 😂

Lmao I’m doing this

You should definitely not blast this one, it is amped up to peak gain, use responsibly and be sure your equipment is ready for it. You shouldnt blast this at full volume om the first uses on a driver.

SimteR Productions , I agree, thanks for posting it. I am planning on building some more speaker systems soon. This particular sweep will be used on my next build for several hours on the drivers starting at a really low volume. I’m going to break the drivers in with it free air - again, low volume. There’s also another use for this...if you want to DESTROY some stuff for the fun of it, this’ll do it, lol!

Me to ....I didn't know what I wasdoin...I started smelling a burning clutch smell turned out to be my kicker...but it sounds much better now

If you’re breaking in subs, you should not have it too loud at the beginning, the only smells you should be getting is the excess glue burning/wearing off. They say 12 hours of break in time. I try to do an hour to two a day so it’s ready in a week

Broke (in) my ipod touch soeakers

Heck yeah man ! 💪🤔👍

Yikes bro, youtube is putting ads on in like its theirs.😢

It is quite relaxing

Two years later I’m breaking in my dual L7 15s in my car 😂

He’ll yea I’m running the same amp with a 12” massive gtx v2 can’t wait till it’s broke in to really let it play, how well did skar turn out??

Just did a redone and having the same noise. A clicking sound from the spider. Running this sweep now and hoping it fixes it.

Recone*

@@audionutzjulian i rebuilt a 12 inch subwoofer and the spider was making this popping noise, played this for a whole day, and the noise stopped, hopefully it works for you

No manches sanchez! 😁

fyi the sub in the pic is not mine

Gonna use this for my REL 212sx today!

Glad it works, if you need anything more specific regarding frequencies message me.

​@@simterproductions2537 can you do a 40hz-1500 or a 40-750hz? Need to break in some mid-bass woofers.

@@dtjf350 here you go www.mediafire.com/file/y2hmgif1t5duteg/45-750.mp3/file

I’m also high

How long did you run it for and did you do free air?

@@TylerPagel24 not free air, just low power for a bout 6 hours on a breakin tone track.

Might be a little late but I blew my Skar 3 months in. Got a sundown now fingers crossed it's better

@@youhopeirot sundown blows skar out of the water.

Yeah I had skar they blow so I have one deafbouce it hit just as hard as my old ones not broken in

I was searching for days I had Skar in my checkout. Then decided to go with Sundown 2 Sa8's. I have a 1200 Skar amp. I might upgrade to a bigger amp.

Turn down the amp.

@@terrencehobson8471 I don't have that sub anymore

put it on loop

Shut da hell up how do u do that

@@peterfeng6595 Right click on the video and hit loop.

That’s what she said

it is good for the z625's

Glad it helped

Ur mids and highs shouldn't be picking up that low of a frequency, I bet they were hertz

Set your amp gain just under half way. Then play this tone for a few hours every day for a week or more, or 5 hours straight if you want to shorten the break in time. Make sure the subs don't clip while playing. If they do, lower the volume and/or gain.

lmao faxx

I’ve had 3 of these .they are beast when broken in .they don’t like anything higher than 50,60 hz tho

this works with any subwoofer driver that can play ~35hz at the lowest and mabye even lower. Watch the volume thought as this file goes up to 0db (full volume)

Keep it cool 😉

how long did you do it for

The average subwoofer driver break-in period is about 20-24 hours of playback of this track (just to break in the surround and spider) However, If you still have some kind of mechanical noise or coil rub after this period, give it a 12 hour brake and play it for another 20 hours at normal volume levels.

@@simterproductions2537 I broke it already 🥺

Lucas Hanna i did the same shit dont rush just play your regular music 2-3 weeks and youll be fine ive blown 2 sets of skar 15s doing this and bass wasn’t turned up all the way at about 25-30 volume

@@clenzd2344 do you still recommend playing regular music? My brand new kenwood 12's I beat on them the first two days and they were properly tuned at a highly rated shop and the glue adhesive came off the outer rubber.

enough so as to not overheat/stress your components

Only needed for subwoofer drivers capable of delivering specified frequency range. Please use responsibly.

@@simterproductions2537 ok thx man the only reason is because the spider in the speakers also need to be broken in and I can already tell the difference between breaking them in and not.

@@Cole-ij7fo Well, every speaker has a difference when broken in, fun fact: Displays too! I had bought the Creative t20 speakers and before breaking them in they sounded kinda bad, but now its like a whole different setup.

Dude that was funny

The crushers aren't worth the money....... there is a adjustment that slides up and down to increase and decrease the bass.....about ¼ of the way up is as far as you'll EVER go......any more than that, the audio sounds like shit.....it doesnt matter if you're listening to rap, country, or even a damn audiobook.....I took mine back and put a little more money with the refunded money from the skullcandies and bought the Sony WH-1000XM4......the bass hits ridiculously harder and is so much clearer and crisp than them muddy crushers

Within normal levels

@@terryhedge213 what about subsonic and also my radio volume and gain

i made this audio clip using audacity about 3 years ago with sine wave generation, download link is in the description (this is my alt btw)

The average subwoofer driver break-in period is about 20-24 hours of playback of this track (just to break in the surround and spider) However, If you still have some kind of mechanical noise or coil rub after this period, give it a 12 hour brake and play it for another 20 hours at normal volume levels.

Thanks helped a lot jus got a 18 for my truck and don’t want to mess anything up

Depends on the sub, usually a week of moderately playing this three times a day max

1500w 12 with a 1800w amp at 75% volume

@@brycepr1967 you should have checked the watt rating of your sub and also your amps gain knob mate, really sorry to hear that but as I said, unfortunately i do not take responsibility

@@brycepr1967 amp could be 1800W max/peak not rms and most likely possibly your gain wasn’t tuned correctly. This video definitely works! 💯

Ronaldo Maynard They want you to not know how to safely operate them so they can still more due to blown subs.

Because the sub is new and everything is still stiff they wouldn’t sell it to you used

Breaking in subs takes time and would make the sub cost more.

It takes a lot of time and energy to break-in a sub. Its not worth it for manufacturers

You want old subs or new tight subs

Breaking in my duel 12s rn

breaking in my evl 12 2500 right now hope it works

Start out with 50% and then increase by 5% every 10 minutes until you feel the driver move a good distance as if it was actually playing music. Let me know if you need anything more specific about gain or excursion

ert wert cuz it is

Believe me its not I've seen so many people blow there subwoofers because they go full tilt with no break in 🤦🏽‍♂️IT WORKS 👍🏽👌🏽✌🏽💯

@@redman4076 i did this. Full blast for about 24 hours on two Skar Sdr 8’s cause i was excited and blew one of them. Disappointed in myself

@@loganpennington9104 medium volume lol

Always start off 10-25% of normal playing volume

how did it go? I just blew the glue off the rubber on my brand new 2 kenwood 12's

@@airuzair2424 worked great

@@rustyshackleford7334 did you just play this once with the sub outside of a ported/sealed box?

@@airuzair2424 I had to 12 in a sealed box and I played it at a low level for 10 hours

start with the sub barely moving and increase a little every 15-30 minutes, when you have played this 5-10 hours spread out within a week then crank it up a little more for another week, it takes time to properly break in large drivers so be careful. If youre talking about small subs it should take no more than a week to complete the break-in process

Theres a new vid on the channel with an updated link and higher quality

KC LEACH slow it down

download it and repeat track

@@yamaha5980 joking

KC LEACH yeah I know but it honestly makes the notes longer and better anyway

@@yamaha5980 slowing it down will definitely distort the frequencies. The best way to play this is to loop it. Although i didnt make it too long as to simulate a single break-in session.

How did u break them in, how long did it take, and what can I do and not do while they’re breaking in.

During the "break in" process, subs to tend to smell a bit. It's completely normal, as long as the subs are not smoking and/or clipping. If they are, you're doing something wrong.

@@danvird8649 If you play them every day, a week or 2.

Just youtube to mp3 it bro, the video isnt even monetized, thats 100% on youtube

thats right, thats why you dont play this more than one time per 2 hours

I couldn’t play it for that long I think I had my volume to high

@@simterproductions2537 I have a 2000 watt amp with 1 svr 12 and 1 mtx 400rms what should my settings be roughly?

​@@andrewmasaberg1116 basically for it to get broken in youd wanna start at playing this at like 30% gain and half volume and go from there later when you listen to music you just set your unit to max volume and gain to 0 and start increasing the gain and stop before the sub starts clipping, pay attention to low pass filters etc needs a bit of experimenting nontheless, depends entirely on the setup

@@simterproductions2537 okay thanks for the help dude

It is recommended for high rms subwoofer setups to be broken in before the user wants to use max power. Immediately bumping them could cause surround or coil damage on the long run. The coil has to break in. So because manufacturing doesnt include breaking them in, if youre pushing some serious watts its just a safe approach.

It might also get rid of mechanical noise that is introduced by the resistance the surrond has because it is stiff from factory

@@terry1427 ........Just use your speakers at NORMAL listening levels and they will "break-in".

@@ASSOpid this speeds up the process tho

I've been trying the "just play them method" on two Soundqubed HDX3 12's for 6 weeks and it's insanely slow. The website stresses break in and says that it takes several months
