Since its getting cold out and Im running my car through this winter. Will it hurt my sub if I jump in the car,start it and turn the system up way high right away? Or should I make it gradual during the cold to let the wires heat up or whaever?
So I can I just jump in and pump or do I gotta do it gradually?

 

Gradual is good.

 

I usually turn my volume up gradually myself. it's easier on the ears too, and why bother risking it to crank it up right away

 

always gradually if its cold out side. the voice coils become frail when cold just like anything else.

I was more worried about the suspension then the vc's.

 

I don't think it's really a good idea to have it blaring when you first start it even in warm weather

 

If not for the sub, do it for your ear's sake. Hearing is a good thing, so warm up your ears.

 

wouldnt this have a negative effect on the amp too?

 

i think you'd be fine, but most people don't tend to blast their music at 7:30 in the morning

 

The cooler the amp, the more efficient it runs. Sub surrounds, depending on what they are made of, can become brittle when cold so gradual warm up of the sub is a good idea.

 

just wondering, but couldn't going from butt cold to hot cause the e-mag to sweat too?
but yes gradual is always good, even in the summer
