lol, I was just messing with ya..

, but I did have an idea, would it be possible to connect a speaker to a mains transformer, and connect that to the mains to break in speakers?? just select the output voltage transformer to "match" the speakers wattage..

lol

I do it that way all the time! For an 8 inch speaker I gave it enough voltage to move 9-10 mm p/p in free air, face-up on the bench. That was plenty - no need to go silly here. I let it run for about 2 hours. Most of the change occurs early in the burn in period.

Probably better to do it free air rather than in a box because then it doesn't make very much noise at all.

Wasn't that an old Bose advertisement - hook up the speakers to the AC outlet and get this horrible 60Hz sound.
