Breaking in speaker cables??

Can you break speaker cables in with the speaker disconnected? I'd like to do this as there wouldn't be sound 24/7 bothering those around me.

There are amps that might tolerate this but 99% will go bang..

Just didnt understand that it had to be hooked up. Still curious though about volume level. I'm guessing the louder it is, the more current, the faster it burns in?

You will be putting 115 volts through cable. That is the fastest way to break them in.
