Question breaking in new speakers?

is it true i have to break in a new subwoofer slowly before i can start really turning it up?
my infinity sub is messed up. now the guy i purchased it from says i blew it. but i had second thought when i purchased it because i got it from downtown los angeles and the box seemed to have been retaped. it worked for 3 days then the glue came apart. i noticed a rattle and it was the sub unglued from the rubber. no refund no exchange so i said screw this i went and got a bran spankin new keenwood. but before i left he said i didnt give it time to break in is this true?
ps... i didnt buy the kenwood from the same place never again will i shop in downtown yhea the price is cheaper but now that i think about it i think they sell defective stuff...

yeah you have to slowly beat it in keep the gain down most good shops will bench break the sub but alot wont ive only ever seen 1 shop do it.so keep the base down if you hear any distortion TURN IT DOWN!!! give the coils time or youll burn them up, the more time the more travel the more travel the more base!!! hope this helps.
