It's fine, just play it at very moderate levels till it warms up in the car. My speakers have been sounding muffled for about 10-15 minutes right after I start my car in the extreme cold. It's caused by the rubber surround being cold and stiff, and are restricting cone movement. If you play it too loud it'll stress the surround and cone and possibly crack.

the subs heat themselves too. they aren't 100% electricity to noise machines, you're gonna have heat. they also have resistance from the air they are trying to move creating heat (more in sealed boxes.

i like the DIY heated trunk though. or put the amp inside the sub box, THAT'd get things heated up lol

heh, I know you were kidding, but for the sake of any newbies reading this, DO NOT put your amp in the box! It will overheat!

Or the internal electronic components could fry because of all the vibrations...

why WOULD someone even think of put an amp inside the box anyways? That would be interesting.
