temperature vs subwoofers

i have an question about temperature. is there any danger of damage involved with playing subwoofers during the very low temperatures of winter? i live in michigan and during the winter it can go between slightly below 0 degrees Fahrenheit to just below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, during the middle of winter. should i play my system at lower levels until it warms up? or will well built subwoofers not have a potential to be damaged by these temperatures? thanks much.

Most materials will "stiffen up" at those temperatures. The only part I would wory about (and very little, if at all) would be the adhesives holding the surround to the basket and cone. If you are that worried about it, just wait a while 'till your cabin warms up a bit before you crank 'em.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I live in Michigan and have never had a problem yet. You do hear (usually) a difference in sound from your sub(s) in the winter though but that is another topic.

yes i definitly noticed tht my subs just dont sound quite right in the winter. seems like less mellow. i really dont know how to explain it. but i was just curious if it was bad for subs.
