Winter and Subwoofers....


Recommended Posts

Ya i was guna mention moisture...but i didn't want to sound stupid, because i didnt know if it was true. But I would say if you live some where that is cold buy some subs you don't care about from a friend and get a less quality amp too. Remember you do not have to be loud all the time. Just for showin off and competitions.

theres couple things actually that i've seen living in alberta average winters -30+

1- subs with plastic cones tend to crack is super cold and wanged on hard

2- yes moisture subs get hot and sometimes it causes condensation which gets into the inerds (not a word i know) of a sub

3- condensation freezing your sub turning it on and yeah

really all i can say is let your car warm up before wanging on it and dont wang on it if its to cold

The only issue I've ever had in winter(when i lived in NYC) was with woofers that had foam surrounds. I've seen them get brittle and tear very easily when u turn them on immediately without letting the car warm up.

x2 on dat. I have mine for that reasons also, and for when the cops pops outta no where. I have mine on the panel just under the foot-emergency brake so i can hit it with my foot when the time comes.

ive been wondering this, but i was pretty sure that the subs would have the same issues in the summer as in the winter, like the sub being really cold is just as bad as the sub being really hot when the temp gets warm in the summer, and thats when people wang the hardest, ive told kids at my school that as long as they warm their cars up before they bump that they can keep them in, but most still took them out...dumb mofos, but this was definitely a good post, didnt know if i was wrong or not lol
