[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7733269, member: 614752"] You will be hard pressed to hear a 5 or 10% varience in TSP's in a sub, and even if that much of a difference could be measured that proves little in the way of any risk of damage. Many speakers have variences of that much right off the assembly line. All of this is speculation and assumption. The analogy of an engine is foolish since an engine is dependent on free flowing oil to prevent mechanical wear, extreme cold certainly dramatically changes properties of oil. If a loudspeaker required oil I'd be a little more worried about the whole thing. What you are saying here is that the suspension may be slightly more stiff on a cold day? What sort of failure does this risk? At what temperature and power level do we need to worry? AND at said power level, how long must we wait to play our music at full volume without worrying about some sort of failure? What precisely will fail? At what temperature and power level? Funny how all the 0 degrees and under guys are chiming in with decades of experience and nobody is coming along saying how their subs broke mechanically on a cold morning. [/QUOTE]
