can you run subs in the winter?

 

why wouldn't you be able to

 

one of the install guys told me you couldn't (but he was from best buy so who knows) im talking about -40.

 

come on help me out here can i run subs in -40

 

You in northern Canada or Alaska or something? -40* is like artic temps.

 

when it gets that cold, you'll want to make sure everything is still flexible.

One thing you could do is 'warm them up' by playing at a very low volume for awhile, just to allow things to move around without damaging them.

Just be careful that any condensation hasn't frozen the cone, or anything like that, and you should be fine.

Since I live in an area that will never get like that, I've never really thought about it before.

 

yeah that was what i was thinking. just warm them up first. dont just hop in and crank it up. i shattered my hatch doing that in 23 degree temp lol.

 

i was under the impression that it was hard to do that

 

welll i live in cold temps like that in winter...so you do half to warm them up and start with music at low and get higher every once in awile...


**gotta love north dakota...gets to -60 degrees out some times

 

If you have money or you just want to go high tech get a remote car stater and put the heat on so when you get in you won't freeze.

I'm hopefully going to do the same soon before the winter gets bad.

My friend told me thats what he does for coooold winter days I thought it was a good idea so I'm doing the same

 

dont ask me why but i dont want a remote start. is their some sort of heat source that i could keep in my car and plug in every night that would keep it warm all the time and not set my car on fire??

and about the window thing is it hard to blow the back window ive hd to many different things

 

yes its hard you will never blow the back window EVER so dont worry about it.. dont let that ever cross your mind again.. if anyone tells you they broke the back window because of their subs its most likely bs

 

Unless your running multiple amps and subs, and I'm talkn' multiple 1500 watt amps and like 4 or more subs.

 

electric heater? have it on an extension cord and plug it in when you wake up or something...

 

I ran 12" subs in northern New York in -20 to -40 degree weather and never had a problem.

 

u wont really bust ur back glass,but u can crack it by lots of flex..

well if the sub/box isnt heavy u could take it out and put it in ur house when ur done traveling..might be stupied but it works just be a headact lol plus u dont have to worry about it getting stolen..

 

to keep it warm, you could try a heating mat (like a heating blanket, but much smaller) and just drape it across. You'd have to run a cord out to it, otherwise your battery would be dead by morning trying to run that off an inverter.
