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.

Sorry B-limo, you have to have some resistance hooked up to do a burn in. You can use an 8ohn resistor with 300 to 500watts. The resistor will get very hot so make sure that it's not touching anything that is vulnerable to heat.
Hope this helps.
I agree with Zman. There has to be a load. I have always put the speakers face to face, a few inches apart and wired one speaker out of phase. This will cancel out alot of the sound. Turn them up a little. Then put a blanket over them. This works VERY well.

We used this method in every store I've ever owned.
NO, you need a load at the other end. Look in the archives using keywords...speaker cable burn in.
I would do what Mofimadness recommends. The only think I would add is to play white noise. That will make a big difference, as well.
Thanks guys, I figured you needed to connect them, just wasn't sure why, but now I know! Does the volume level make a difference?
