I just play a sine wave at 20-40 hz for about 8 hours.. that works good.. keep the volume high enough so the woofer moves quite a bit.. but not too much.. I just leave the sub on my bed outside of a box when I do this.. and have always had great results.. There are lots of Bass test CD's with Sine bombs and so on.. I just put one in the CD player and hit "repeat"

^ yeah...... the A2000 CD-101 is good for that. just put it on a repeat loop with 20-40 hz. Also checking the temperature on the motor and the amplifier during the process is a good idea too, cause it could get quite warm specially if the cone is driven up to 1.5"+ p-p for long period of time.
