Austin42156 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 So the temperature dropped to about -7 last night when I was getting off work and my car had been sitting for a good 8 hours in the parking lot. When I turned on my system I could barely hear the subs at all. I opened up the trunk and saw that the subs were insanely stiff, is this something that happens to other people in the winter too or could I have a leak in my trunk? I just bought these subs . I was thinking maybe it could be the electronics inside the amp? - 1995 Pontiac Trans Am - 5.7 LT1 V8 - Kenwood Excelon x998 Deck - JL Audio XR650-CSI 6.5" 2-Way Component Speakers (In My Doors) - Crescendo Audio PWX 6.5" Mid Ranges (Right behind my seats) - (1) Kenwood KAC-9105d Monoblock Amplifier - (1) Kenwood X450/4, 4 Channel Amplifier - (2) Kenwood W3013ps 12" Subwoofers - Amps tuned with O-scope. - Stinger Roadkill Sound Deadening - F.A.S.T Rings by Mobile Solutions - Phoenix Gold and Stinger wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hifonics Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 It's not normal. I live in Canada where it gets way colder and I've never had that issue. I usually just play mine low until it warms up, but the woofer doesn't get stiff or anything. It could be just stiff because the woofers are brand new. They will loosen up in time. But if you're noticing that the output is lower, I don't know what could be causing that. Usually the cold helps out electronics and allows you to be a little louder due to having less resistance caused by heat... 2010 F150 FX4-18" AA Mayhem-Crescendo BC3500d-Pioneer GM-D9500F 4-channel-2 Crescendo FT1 -2 Crescendo Neo Forte 6.5 -Pioneer AVH-P3300BT-6000K HID Headlights/Fog lights-All LED interior lighting-20% tint on front windows, 1% rear windows, 5% windshield strip-Big3 (XSFlex 0ga) -DC Power 270XP -Group 65 NorthStar AGM battery Coming soon/plans: -Build log-Blacked out mirror reflectors-Tinted tails/3rd brake light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP95 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I know in my friends old ranger when it got cold the subs output was alot less than once it finally warmed up by the end of the day. Why I got no clue, maybe the air being thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 It's normal for them to have less output when they're cold. Just beat on them moderately till they warm up and your good to go. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
