Foam surrounds

[XanderMoser 10+ year member]

I recently put a sub in my car that I was previously using for home theater. I don't think it was specificaly made for only home theater though. It's a 12" in a sealed box that my dad and I put together. It has a foam surround. I'm in Wisconsin, so our weather/temps are pretty extreme. From hot and dry to cold and humid and everywhere in between. Will this weather harm the foam surround at all or shorten the life of it? If so, I'll try getting a different sub before other equipment.

If it's not a treated foam surround, it will deteriorate.

More information would help determine the time-frame.
