Well, if you want some ear damage ....Put it this way, my friend has 2 L7 10's....And the other day at school we had a teacher come out of her class and yell about "I can feel it in my throat".....Now i dunno exactly what that means....but lol.....Its loud, sounds good, and not too expensive...Good choice. :thumbsup:
Yeah, I talked to a guy at Norton's Stereo and he said 1 week with the volume at 25% and then turn the volume up about 10% every next day until you have reached your max volume you're going to be playing it at. Does anyone know if this is correct?

sound_xtreme, You stated that the voice coil would most likely be what blew. By m understanding the break in period is not as much for the voice coil as for the woofer. The rubber surround and glue used to attach the woofer will need to flex before it reaches a proper elasticity. The voice coil will blow from excessive heat from two things. Over powering the sub and distortion from underpowering the sub. I am not sure as to what is concidered a proper break in period. I would imagine that is something that varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. More for warranty issues than anything.

i would generaly say 2 weeks without cliping.... and under 75%power
That should keep em living for a while... but really it depends on the enclosure you have too...
If its sealed then you can push it a lil more because of the increased powerhandleing in a sealed enclosure... however with ported/bandpass etc you get more cone travel with less power... and your more likely to blow spiders/surrounds and coils...
Annother Cause if coils blowing is when your sub (thru massive ammounts of power and excursion) go's non linear... and the voice coil (being hot) welds its self to the basket, or motor structure of the sub...
This has been emproved and reduced in reacent times.. but can still happen, but only really at HIGH power/excursion levels....
