I blew a fuse the other day, may have been caused by turning up the volume to about 90% on a cold day almost right away so now I will be more gentle with that volume control.

I took my setup out for the winter and put in a cheaper one. The idea of bumping a 700 dollar sub in the freezing cold kinda scares me. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Don't let it. As long as you give the suspension and motor a couple mins at low-medium volume it'll be fine. Remember that subwoofers are very ineffecient, Like 1 or 3% (can't remember), and the rest is disapate in the form of heat.
