Default Cold temperatures vs. sub surround

It's been anywhere between 20 and -12 degrees farenheit where I live for the
last two weeks. Will pushing my subs hard at that temperature hurt the
surrounds before they've had a chance to warm up? Should I listen at a
lower volume until they've come up in temp a little? 2 Soundstream EXACT10s
in an aperiodic box.

I've kinda been wondering the same thing about my deck/amp/speakers. We've
been having some record colds this year, and while not too cold compared to
some places (10-20 degrees), I have been wondering how this can affect
electronic equipement.

I remember when I worked on a ship in Alaska, I worked in the freezer hold
which was -30, and I brought my portable cd player down there with me a few
times... I would keep the cd player in the pocket of my freezer suit, but it
didn't take long for it to crap out on me.

Yes! Especially, if they're rubber surrounds. They will start to
crack. A friend of mind asked me that same question. I told him to
wait a 1/2 hour or so until it warms up back there.

Most car rides are under half an hour. I think it's a bit silly to refrain
from using your car stereo in the wintertime.

Some peeps are in the habit of warming the car up before they set out
onthe road. I usually just turn the volume down before I leave my car at
night. When I get to the car its warm enough for me to turn the volume up
to an acceptable level. I dont lksten to music that loudly though. My
volume on my Alpine CDA-7892 is set between 9-12.
Just to be on the safe side.
Wasnt the O rings that failed around the shuttle columbia fuel boosters
rubber?

You're comparing the conditions that a car subwoofer will face to the
conditions that a shuttle will face?

The engineers at these companies aren't stupid (there are a couple
exceptions though). They know what kind of climates the speakers will be
used in.

If your car has a trunk. The heater wont do jack for you. I just simply don't
use my system in temperatures less then -10c as recommended by most
manufactures and never had a problem.

My take on this is I live in a very cold winter climate and never warm the
subs up first. I have been using Kicker subs exclusively for 6 years and
havent broke one yet. Like Mr Howdy said when there in the trunk what can ya
do? They DO sound different when its -10 outside.But never cracked.

I find that the colder it gets the more bass I get out of the subs, Not sure
why, if the surrounds of the subs get stiffer from the cold it sound produce
less bass and not more. Other then cold air being dry and liter ( is that
spelt right?) I can't explain it.

The temperature has nothing to do with the humidity level. Humidity is a
measure of the moisture content of the air. Hell, it's been 100% humidity
here for a couple of days now an it hasn't gotten over 43 degrees.

I'm gonna go with the fact the air is lighter and the cone is stiffer, move
air more effciently with less distortion. But I still don't really feel
like playing them loud when it's -24F here (as it is now), as I have an hour
drive, I wait about 20min or so, and since I have a hatchback it gets warm
back there.

Temperature has everything to do with humidity level. The warmer it is the
more water vapor can air sustain without condensing. 100% humidity at 32F
means there's lot less water vapor in air than 100% at 100F. Basic physics.

because the air is less dense due to a lack of water in the air and there for

Cold air is denser, sound travels farther, faster and with less loss.

Temperature has everything to do with humidity level. The warmer it is the
more water vapor can air sustain without condensing. 100% humidity at 32F
means there's lot less water vapor in air than 100% at 100F. Basic physics.
