You can always ship them to me in the winter. I am in Oklahoma, doesn't get cold enough to worry with here. I will take good care of them!

If anything you may want to let your subs warm up :p

You want an amp to run cool, no reason to let it "warm up". They only time I would even consider it is if your trunk is not 100% sealed and moisture gets on. If there is moisture on the amp and subs, reseal your trunk. Water and electronics do not mix well.

That being said, in the winter time you generally get much less output from your subs and they will not play many frequencies when it is really cold.

Lets do it, we'll show the government!! Now I will live out the ret of my days very keen to my surroundings due to big brother misinterpretting my statement!

i guess this is what it comes to when the government outlaws fun fireworks in alot of states... everyone gather up their cheap amps....

If you have a broke one, I am sure with a little power and water we will get the same results. Sounds like test time to me.

anyone wanna go in on a cheap amp to find out?

Sounds as fun as the Fourth of July

i was under the impression that heat was generally bad for amps, so i dont see the benefit in letting them "warm up". i have heard of low grade subs' cones cracking in the winter, if thats what you mean. and another contributor in the winter to failure is frost getting in the amps if there is moisture in the car, melting, and then you could imagine what happens with an operating amp and water.
