[QUOTE="CBFryman2, post: 2455382, member: 565445"] How do you know the amp is putting out less power. Electronic devices are generally more stable with higher outputs when they are colder. When a Pentium 4 was first overclocked to 5gHz they used liquid nitrogen to cool the processor. If you didnt clamp it to measure current and use a DMM to measure voltage when it is warm and when it is cold (all other things the same including sub temperature and head unit temperature) then you can not assume it is the amp. Your sub's suspension is probably just a little stiffer, and consiquiently it takes more power for it to move. COLD WILL NOT DAMAGE YOUR SUB but it could possibly be causing it to become a little more stiff. I persoanally tested sub softparts down to -22 degrees celcius and there was no noticable change in strength or integrity...only flexability. [/QUOTE]
