i like it when people want the amp mounted to their box and want like 4 extra ft. of wire so they can slide everything forward onto the backseat when they need to get the spare.......the occassional ground loop is good for ya........

the temperature won't hurt the amp, what will hurt you is the moisture. if there is that much moisture in your car, enough to condense on your speakers, then that is a sign that you have a busted seal somewhere. as soon as your amp or speakers warm up, that ice will melt...buh bye amp or speaker. if that's a normal thing for you, i'd refrain from even having the power and ground hooked up. its just asking for a disaster. its possible that ice would condense over the - and + terminal...i wouldn't flirt with that possibility.
