With any decent subs it shouldnt be a big problem but if your worried what I wuld do is keep the volume down untill the car/sub heat up a bit
I have heard of cold beiig bad for subs, but personallyt Ive run all of mine 4 or 5 different set ups all winter long with no problems |
thanks it can get pretty cold around here and i dont drive my car much because i dont have a liscence yet. Would it be a problem leaving them in the cold for a long time without heating them up?

if you let them heat up with the car on befor you get it full power
what i see not beind good is fast hot to cold or cold to hot |

I have seen some of the lower end subs that are a poly type cone become brittle and crack to the point they are no good afterwards. |

stereo wise, I like to keep the volume low when first starting to listen to the music, not turned right up from the get go |
Well its that time of year...I see this post and put on my winter tires..........like clockwork.

done that before. DOH!!! Just dont be an idiot and crank the tunes one the car is barely started. I will crank it once my trucks to its normal operating temp. |
Canadian winter is the best. Thats what all the car audio is for. When I am not drifting a snow covered parking lot, I am parked with the bass on.
My subs are Orion XTR DVC they take 10 - 15 minutes ot heat up to operating temp in the cold because of the ferro fluid. wicked |
I wouldn't worry about your system being in the cold. I've had systems in my vehicles for the last 7 winters and seeing -35-40c and have never had a problem. One amp I have has been in use for the 7 years, and the other for 6. I just let everything warm up at low volume for the first 10 mins or so.
