Its pretty tough to trouble shoot without a multi-meter. You need to test the amount of power the amp is seeing, the strength of the signal, etc. You cannot test these without a multi-meter.
I would just take it back to the place that installed it....there should be some sort of workmanship warranty on their work (if they are worth their salt). If not, just drop that Soundstream rep another PM
.
I would not screw with it anymore, if I were you, because if they see that you have been poking around with your "inexperience", they might just try to blame it on you. CYA at all times!
When things start going wrong, they usually all go wrong at once.....just the way of the world. When it does get working, though, chances are you will not have any problems for a while. While you are in the shop, ask to hear what the sub would sound like in a sealed box. They probably have a generic one lying around that they can toss the sub into and hook up for you. They also probably do custom boxes as well (mostly ALL shops here in the US do, at least). If they are a reputable shop, ask to see a portfolio of their work. Any professional installer will have a portfolio to show off their work to prospective clients (to good installers, audio installation is more of an art).

i haven't heard many valid reasons either.... the only one that might make sense is to 'loosen up' the suspension... but that shouldn't take much time at all...
*shrug*
i still 'break in' though... in that i don't crank it to max right away.
a multi-meter is priceless in this case because it would allow us to find shorts in the system.
