Every now and then it'll get down to the negative teens and the LCD starts acting funny. I even park in the garage. I usually let it warm up before pounding on it, like up to freezing or so. When its that cold I like to listen to the car though. Once you've had your brakes freeze over while driving you start to think less about music and more about concentrating on driving, either that or you start thinking more about home audio and to "hell with work I'm not going outside".

As far as components go, I think moderate levels will be fine, but me, I don't crank it til it has warmed up some.

For me it's always less louder when cold and way more louder when it's warmer

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

never too cold to listen to music. Windows down is another thing though, but here in MN we have to deal with below zero a lot in winter so if it was too cold to listen to music that would suck so yea, got to listen to music no matter what
