i did my infinity's for 40 hours, my kickers for 12(got fed up of it being so quiet!!)
It really does vary between makes and i couldnt find anything on sony's website, id say 25 hours max, but just a guess.

If you buy cheap subs(Vibe) then maybe you dont really care too much how well they perform or last, but if you were to buy subs which cost a fair bit of money, you should really look after them.
If you buy a 50 quid nova, you're gonna thrash the tits off of it from the word go, if you buy a brand new ferrari, you'll take it easy and give the moving components in the engine a chance to wear in.

i dont consider them as i cheap brand, but ppl have their own opinions. I havent skipped any steps in my setup and i think they sound great, but there are better out there and i know it. It will get bigger and better
