    I was playing with my 2 Gately Audio 6.5" Relentless subs and i noticed one was moving way more than the other one. Of course one is brand new and the other is a little older so that is why. So i decided to break the new sub in, the FAST way!

    I was playing with my 2 Gately Audio 6.5" Relentless subs and i noticed one was moving way more than the other one. Of course one is brand new and the other is a little older so that is why. So i decided to break the new sub in, the FAST way! I currently have a DS18 H-K05 Amp on the bench (rated 5,000 watts) and an SMD IMSG+ ready to go at all times. This speaker flexed so hard and didn't even break a sweat. Links in the description. Thanks for watching if you did! Especially if you watched the entire 2nd half of the video :) That SMD Screwless Terminal cup has came a long way! So simple yet so effective! www.wccaraudio.com

      Brother Steve these new terminal plates are sickkk, next you'll have to do screwless and magnetic pull off plates! It can be done same concept make the two plates that sandwich the box and then have the magnetic quick disconnect terminals stick to the outer plate!

    I reckon it would still take a good 6 hours or so at 20hz like that, I know it takes roughly 25 hours of in car application full tilt to break in good subs like the SSA XCON

      not really. It was already just about matched up to the other sub in about 30 minutes of doing this off and on.

    It's absolutely off the wall how far 8 and 6.5 subs have come over the past decade. Like 300w was godly before, now you got 7/800 watt monsters putting 12s to shame with their xmax and even xmech! When I get a new daily next year, I am absolutely redoing the doors in my blazer and going with some of these Gatelys in big(for doors), sealed enclosures. All the eights I looked at would have you with this monstrous door panel or the 6.5s were too anemic for a High SPL 3-way front stage.

    I been looking at that Ds18 hooligan 2k was debating on the hooligan 2k or the digital designs M2000 heard there same almost but not sure. Those gatley subs are bad ass definitely gonna have to decide if I wanna go with 4 gatley 6.5s or 4 DD 1506s super charged. I know they both will slam in the correct box in my truck. Gonna have to get me some of them smd terminals and smd DD1 plus for sure💯🔊💨💨

  • @95Sn95
    @95Sn95 Před rokem +1

    Well this just shows the idea of the misnomer of so many people confusing what "breaking in" a sub to avoid damage is foolish. Just use it normally and it will "break in" (loosen up) with some play time. Or you can flex it free air like this to reduce the amount of time it takes to soften up, SQ always increases once it loosens up.

    • @meade916
      @meade916  Před rokem +2

      settle down Walt. I didn't say you HAVE to break anything in. I never break shit in. I just play them and let it happen naturally. But one of my 8's was really used and soft while one was brand brand BRAND new and stiff. It was so different that the subs looked out of phase when first hooked up. So far off they looked like 2 different subs. So i stretched the new one a bit so they are now both a little closer. That's all.

    • @95Sn95
      @95Sn95 Před rokem

      @@meade916 Id say there was a misunderstanding I agree 100% I also give em the beans as soon as I put power to them. If the spider or surround lifts from poor glue job not from using it like it's intended to, it will happen at some point regardless if it's poorly built and I'd rather it failed ASAP vs after warranty is up. What I was saying is where you were flexing them from the get go debunked the whole break in myth. You obviously know but so many don't know that the whole "break in" is urban myth it was misconstrued at some point from a process a sub goes through not a prerequisite before using them. Saying my sub is broke in just means the suspension is now how it was engineered to be. Typically with even a SQL sub before they have some flex and play time they sound pretty flat and not very dynamic like a SPL focused sub.✌️ I love the flex videos and your crazy huge B2's.

    • @vincebowling1778
      @vincebowling1778 Před rokem

      Assuming you have dual 2 ohm subs, you’ll wire each sub parallel to 1 ohm. Then wire two subs together in series to 2 ohms. (Exactly like Steve demonstrated) In your case you have another set, so repeat. Each set of two would then be wired parallel back down to 1 ohm.

    But can I ask.. what’s the difference apart from colour, for when using Aluminium vs copper vs stainless steel? Doesn’t the current flow the same through them all or does it depend on how much power your trying to put out?
