Cold weather proper sub break in


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm new to cold weather, and today it was 32 in Texas where I'm at. Does anyone have proper subwoofer break in advise? I tried to play "win or lose" from one of decafs zips, and normally I slam that low note and it just wasn't there. So I think my sub was stiff.....

Any advise?

Just play it and it will break in.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

The note might not have been there as dominately because your heater blower motor was running, maybe your marker lamps or headlights were on, fog lamps, mirror heaters, seat warmers, etc: dropping the voltage. Kinda doubtful on your setup though. Voltage drop probably isn't much of an issue. Let em warm up a little and it'll be fine.

I've never had any issues and I'm pushing full xmech out of my subs lol. But they are at very low volumes for a few minutes until I get out of the neighborhood onto open road, so I'm not sure if that counts.

I think you should be fine. Look at all the people shaking ice off their car going full tilt? I haven't heard of any of them having issues. I think at most, your spider pack will be a bit stiffer. No biggie

It could also be the air density. Acoustics can be a PITA. Temperature, humidity - it can all make a difference

Cold air is WAY less dense than warm air, it prob louder sealed when its cold right?

Cold air is more dense. Cold thing shrink - same amount of "stuff" in a smaller space means higher density

But then there is also the issue of humidity... Air can't hold as much water when it gets colder either - so that would reduce the density too.

Gotta love this stuff lol

30s

Shouldn't matter to much but I dare anyone to full tilt in sub zero temps like we have in Wisconsin right now... Rubber surrounds turn into brittle clay......
