Cold weather=Low bass?

[Giovanni15 10+ year member]

This is the first winter with my system. It has sounded very nice and loud until a couple days ago. We've been in weather under 20 degrees to below zero for the last week or so. And I've noticed my sub just isn't as loud as before. I let it warm up for a while then play it at full tilt and it is still very much quieter. Is it that the cold weather is making it that way, or is there something wrong with my amp/sub? I checked all connections and settings on head unit and everything seems fine.

Play it at a low volume until the cab has sufficiently warmed up THEN turn it up. Last thing you want is condensation in your amplifier, which can kill one easily.

it's the surround and spider that get frozen stiff and reduce the sensitivity of your subwoofer.
