Just play them low level for about 10 min to warm up the voice coil. You think thats cold its -32 celsius here today, I have to keep my seats down to let heat blow in there to warm it up, you are lucky, they sound different too when it's cold because of air density.

Hey man, where in Iowa do you live? I live in Walnut, about 50 mins east of Council Bluffs on I-80.

D@MN, there's a lot of us Iowa boys on here! Just thought I'd let you guys know that I'm from the area...I'm all over the state though. Sometimes up north by mason city, sometimes in the des moines area,occasionally in ceder falls, and sometimes down southeast of council bluffs. Its good to know that there are some other Iowans out there thumpin!

I don't even play my subs when it's near -32C. I keep them at ATT until about -10, and the car is warmed up for a while. I'd rather not risk anything, although I've heard that the chance of actually damaging a sub from cold temperature is small.
