hmmm...maybe 2 hours of playing time. What I heard you can do to break them in sometimes is to hook the sub up to a small amp, maybe 50w rms. Leave it on overnight. You will notice the huge underpowering will make the sub rapidly move in and out.

push 1/4 times the RMS wattage for about 2-4 hours and that should break in the diaphram and the foam.

some thing with a "boomy" bass line

underpowering would cause the subs to blow
