Was curious to see if any body uses these in the winter. I mean -20C. I live in Winnipeg MB and want to use them year round?

    That might be a good question for Polk proper as they might have done some enviromental testing. I don't see it being a huge deal as long as the drivers don't have any moisture on them that could freeze. But, who knows what that temp can do to crossover components either.

    I would be more worried about driver freezing up due to it getting wet, over the crossover having issues.

    I think they would be fine in the winter. However, like disneyjoe said, I would be concerned about moisture.
