How long untill I can really Flog them Hard

I know it sounds brutish but that how i like it, nice n LOUD. I am replacing all of the drivers in one 802D as they are damaged and i am wondering how long do i treat them niceley on love volume before a can light them up. The speakers dont show their true colors until they have a few horsepower behind them so naturally i need to run them at that level.

by all means tell me im a savage if you feel the need.

IME, nothing will break them in better than playing them loud to begin with.

To be safe, i was recommended to run mine moderately for the first 100 hours (i had some bass drivers replaced). Damage to drives is also sometimes done by underpowering them. In your case, i cann say of course, but since you like volume, that is just a consideration. the 802D can definitely eat up a lot of power.

Are the drivers damaged because of "flogging" them?

I don't think you're a savage, but I do think you should be using a speaker especially made for loud levels, such as JBL Pro or EAW. These are professional sound reinforcement speakers and can better reproduce high sound pressures. Enjoy the music the way you like it.
