let it warm up first. i give mine atleast 10 min or more depending on how cold it is. i say anything under 40 and you should let them warm up

Ah okay, maybe one of my subs became disconnected in the box and I have to reconnect them...have 4 of em at 3 ohms...been wanting to put them at 1.5 ohms.

Can I ask what subs you have?

I have also noticed a difference in mine as the temps get colder. I have been letting it run 15 to 20 mins before I turn it up much. :pardon:

Okay, and you have 4 of them? So what coils do they have? Are they dual vc or single?

Sorry, just trying to understand how you have 4 subs wired to 3 ohms?

For my system I get in my vehicle and let the subs have it all and they take it like a champ. I actually am louder in the winter 162+ with a good charge but it drops down a bit as the air warms. Mids and highs sound better warm though. But for safeties sake just let the amps/system run for about ten minutes you should be fine

The subs slightly stiffer in cold weather. I have the same problem. And like Chris said the air is more dence. On some subs if your not careful it could bust a glue joint or tear the spider just ease in to it till they get warm like every one is saying. But if it don't make a difference after they warm up. It might be somthing eles. You could have a weak cell in your battery. This time of year is when it will show up. Check your volts and connection's. Hell check everything.

@ Purplehaze, Yes I know it's 3 ohms...and .75ohms and 12 ohms, I miss typed.

Battery is brand new, but I'll check it out...if it is...I'm going to raise hell with XS power.

New build coming soon. [center][url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/3/sigtoo.jpg/"][img]http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9541/sigtoo.jpg[/img][/url][/center]
