Well recently its gotten colder where i live and early in the mornings i have no bass till it warms up in my car. It takes like 5 to 10 mins to come on and itll just come on in the middle of a song. But when i get outta school its warmer and everything works fine. Any ideas

air is denser when it's cold, making it less susceptible to vibrations of its molecules.

nevermind its definitely your surround hardening from the cold

I have the same problem some mornings during the winter. In my case everything just gets very cold. The sub "freezes". The surround will stiffen because it's made of rubber or foam; both of which do not like extreme cold. Just don't try and bump in the mornings because you can cause some permanent damage to ur stuff

how cold is it? if its that cold, chances are your woofers surround is hardening up from the cold, then loosening up the more you play through it.

It's DEFINITELY not the sub being cold. Mine always play even when it's 0 outside. The expansion and contraction that the temperature change causes is resulting in an open somewhere. When it's not working, check to make sure your amp is on. Then check your speaker leads. Something is not making contact during this time.
