I notice a big difference from when I buy all my speakers and a week or two later. My Infinity Kappa 5.25" component set sounds much different now than when it did a few months ago, the bass is a light more responsive and they overall sound much better. They take some time to break in. I did not do this with my subs though, didn't know much about car audio back then. They still sound good though. They're pioneer 12'*, they get really deep compared to other subs I've heard. I'm happy with the money I spent.
a good place to buy car audio online I've found is www.ikesound.com , I buy all my stuff through them. I haven't had any problems with them yet, however, I do wonder how they get their prices so low. :?

I know the break in time for my JL audio 10w7s is 40 hours. I just tried to keep the gains low and not mess with the boost **** for 2 weeks. I did enter in a SQ competion the day after my install though, I might of turned my gains all the way up just for fun. My installer was there incouraging me, still is actually, got 5 year warrenty on eveything, if it blow, he'll replace it for nada.

Never broke in , never will
I usually blast them out of the box.
