Bumpin in the cold

i thought it would expand? the freezing of the spider adds mass to it making it expand, and that is what impedes the cone from moving back and forth, and if your cone isn't moving, you voice coils will overheat almost instantly and start to burn up

You are bad at physics.

condensation builds up in the spider and then it freezes and stiffens the suspension, and running power to it will break it. simple concept

Just bump it... ****... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

okay, so has anyone actually had their sub freeze? there is a lot of speculation, but i have never heard of that happening for real. Chicago has some cold winters, and i have never had any issues with a system in my car for the past 5 winters.

it's hard to bump a frozen sub. if you get any bumpage out of it at all, it'll just be some semi-loud thumps, kinda like a rhino farting

if your subs freeze up, it won't be funny //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I wonder why they would do that since copper has the most conductivity as room temperature.

Ever heard of a super conductor? Look it up before you post.

your coils burned up because colder materials have less resistance

you probably just plain blew the sub......

any speaker's going to warm up in no time, tho

we're talking about 100's of degrees

OMG I don't tip $85.
Also, I do understand them.

http://www.google.com

search about copper.

agian see above. The colder it is the better metals conduct.

but since the cone was froze solid, it didn't allow for proper cooling

It wont harm most spiders or rubber surrounds unless you are talking abot temperatures well below 0 in your car. Granted you dont want topush a surround at 0 degrees 2"....but once it starts moving it will warm up and become more pliable.

Ummmm....coils dont burn when they are cold. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

jesus there is some BS being spewed in this thread.
