Canadian winters
hello, as you may know winter is coming, and i was wondering if i should take my amplifier out of my car for the winter. im expecting it to be at least -20 and i cant decide. there is also the fact that the tempurature in my car is going to be going up and down every time i drive it as i have the heater on. Is such a low tempurature going to harm my amp(t31000d)?

lived in edmonton and had a stereo for about 5 years now....it's gotten down as cold as -53 (with wind chill) the one day.....and my stereo is stiil surviving. (Granted i never had an indash screen then).
I think assuming you let the speakers/amps warm up before using them you'll be fine. I try and get to the point where it's warm in the cabin, and i gotta turn down the heat, which is likely before hte speakers are cold, but they've done ok for the last couple of years so meh.
Plus, i think most car stereo equipment is made with varying weather patterns in mind.
