So you were born in 1980(ref members profile) and you list above that you had paid work in this business from 1982---That makes you a two year old getting paid work in New York---I am truly amazed!!!!!

My best friends birthday party We borrowed an upstairs neighbour stereo and played in the basement in a private house. I got 20.00 for playing. That was a lot of money for a 12 year old in the 1980s. Best Regards,

Regarding the breaking in.
What do you see when when you break them in for let's say 1 hour. Then let it rest for a day, then again measure parameters. If TS parameters are back at when bought new, i would say breaking them in is pretty useless for normal use.

No mate, I'm struggling to understand it I get its the same measuring or listening. Im not understanding if breaking in in free air with whatever signal has a different and more positive effect than doing it in cab with music. I appreciate there is a likely time difference to get to the same worn in ts parameters but is it measurably better done one way than the other?

Simple answer is no. It's to do with the suspension, which in it's fresh-manufactured form will have a certain stiffness. Some few low-frequency minutes will be enough to bring it to a state in where it will remian substantially the same fora long period. But bear in mind that taking speaker from a freezing cold van in the middle of winter, or from a baking hot van in the middle of a heatwave will have the same sort (not the same, just the same sort) of effect on performance.
It's my opinion that there would be no difference. Completely different track, but this reminds me of a tale told to me by Ian Tadd (haven't seen him around for a long while) about the Hill PA at Donnington which got caught in a flash storm - and the bass speakers dies an en masse death having all front facing cones; which resulted in much overnight reconing of 12" ATC's. Blue Oyster Cult were the first band on on the next day, and their engineer was given strict instructions that the volume was to kept reduced to give the adhesives a decent chance to dry. As soon as they came on he took the faders to the max and half the bass section was wiped out, again. edited for spelling

If your vaccinations were mandatory and nobody in your class had measles,
then you know that you're not a Millenial kid.</f |

Yeah everyone seems a bit tense ey ? I thought it was a simple thing but turns out ive delved a bit deep . Aside from this ive been trying to study ts parameters and how they relate to box desgign and i noticed that the pd 186 is totaly not what seems to be suitable for horn loadin, maybe a br or th ? Am i missing something? Im tryingl to learn more about sound now that im off work but there seems to be so much conflicting information . My driver in question is arriving tommorow, gonna be rocking in the quarantine
