Default Audio components and cold weather?

How well do they mix? I'm going to be putting a cheap receiver and speakers in the garage, but with winter coming up, I wasn't sure if the cold weather would damage anything.

Any input?

That's one thing I never thought of. One guy mentioned that moisture might accumulate and damage the speakers and receiver.

Maybe I'll just take everything in once it starts dipping into the 40s on a constant basis.

Just let them warm up before you beat on them.

Replacing stuff sucks.

I suppose I'll risk it. Maybe just take the receiver in and out during the winter time.

Thanks for the responses, too.

I live in a cold climate and work at a car audio shop. Don't leave it out in the open. Make sure it is sealed up in some way. Moister will build up on the units and then you will get water damage. I suggest storing it in your house or somewhere that's at least heated.
