Any speaker should be broken in before applying high power to it. This will help seat the voice coil properly. This is no different than breaking in an engine before putting it under serious stress. You should play through the system at low to medium power for approximately ten hours. This is the initial break in period. You can do this by playing a CD through your system, if desired. It will take up to another 40 hours to completely break in your speakers, but after the initial break in of ten hours, you can begin to increase volume.
