Run in procedure

Vibe recommends that you follow the run in procedure for the subwoofer detailed below.

When your Subwoofer is used for the first time naturally like most brand new items it is very stiff and rigid, it will take time for the
moving parts of this Subwoofer to loosen up before the Subwoofer will be ready to deliver its full potential.

For the first 30 hours  it is recommended that you play the Subwoofer initially at low to medium volumes, gradually increasing the
volume level as time progresses.

As a guide, if you listen to your Subwoofer for 1 hour every day it will take a month for the speaker to run in properly.

You will notice a big change in the sound of the Subwoofer over this period, as the spider and surround begin to run in the sound
will get deeper and harder, also the output of the Subwoofer will increase as the suspension loosens up.

The Subwoofer is like your cars engine, it needs a few thousand miles before you can drive it to it s full potential, driving it into the
redline from the first day will mean engine damage is certain and will not be covered by warranty.

Failure to follow this simple procedure is the most common reason for a Subwoofer to fail after a very short period of time.
