Break-in is a subjective matter. Some believe in it, some doesn't, some are in the middle. But as a matter of fact, most speakers are already partially "broken-in" at their manufacturing factory during quality control testing. If you don't believe me, try Youtubing how the likes of Dynaudio or Focal-JMLab manufacturing process.

At the end of the day, breaking in is true because you can quantify the changes of the speaker due to a softened suspension, etc. However, it won't make your speakers sound from crap to great - that's a myth so that installers may dissuade buyers from returning their product.

Thanks for confirming sir jhnkvn. And with your reputation here in tsikot, I'm in no position not to believe you, hehehehe. Kidding aside, your right dahil most reputable sellers have a money back guarantee on their items. It's just that there are so many speaker brands out there that after reading their brochures and reviews, newbies like me will have a conundrum in choosing which one to get. I wanted a Rockford Fosgate P1675-S before and now I'm leaning towards a Kicker DS65.2 Your thoughts on these two?

Without any research, I'll get the more affordable one Both companies are reputed. Kicker in their subwoofers while Rockford at their amplifiers. Still, you may want to get brands that are known in the speaker world. JBL, Morel, Infinity, etc.
