Subwoofers/Speakers in Winter Condition
I Live in canada(toronto) where in the Winter it gets rather cold (-20 C) is it still safe to play subwoofers and amps during these cold times, or should i remove them from my car...

That's pretty darn cold... I certainly wouldn't play them at that low of a temperature. They likely wouldn't sound very good anyway. As cold as it gets around here (sometimes below 10F), I never had a problem leaving my gear in my car. However, I would always let the car get fully warmed up before turning the stereo on. And, it would always sound more constrained when cold, for a little while until it got fully warmed up.Ludicrous gibs!

Trunks and doormounted speakers in those temps never warm up too much. I would hold down the volume until cabin temp comes up. I never liked to blast too loud when I'm cold as hell early in the morning anyway.HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable

Where I live we get several days a year below 0F (-10 is about the lowest), and many that are 0 to 10F. I jump in the car and play the stereo at normal levels immediatly. Never been a problem. The IDQ10 sub in my car is now 9 years old, and working like new. Never had any trouble with the other speakers or electronics either, and they are 10 years old.
