Default 'Burning-in' new ampliers

hello,

Ask a boyracer with a Nova. They all seem to have them fitted as standard
together with front fog lights that stay on in daylight. They usually
remove the back window and point the speakers backwards to try and get the
car to go faster.

Reviewers often comment that it takes about 100 hours before a new amp
settles down and start to sound like it 'should'.

In this case, what constitutes 'burning-in'? Is it sufficient to just
leaving the power on for a week? Or does it have to be driving a load
(the neighbours are going to just love that)?

Maybe a couple of chunky resistors across the outputs would be ok?
