is it bad to run your amps during the winter

No.

What about running subs in the winter?

no

i have heard stories of the cone cracking while hitting in the cold.

maybe if it was just sittin outside in -20 degree weather, your sub will be just fine

What do you think could be wrong? Heat is the enemy of amplifiers and subwoofers, not cold.

Ok thanks i just thought it wasnt good because last year my subs would have frost covering the cone.

no

I feel you bro..

Michigan and its winters..

Omg..

That can potentially be bad, with all the electrical components in your amplifier.

I dunno..

In winter I never beat my stufff..

I always take it out and put it back in in spring..

Plus winter..

Thats for hauling your snowboards and boose..

The only time I'd imagine something bad would happen is if it was REALLY cold and, like you said, your sub had frost on it. It probably wouldn't hurt to let it 'warm' up before you really wang on it. Although, I could be wrong. They might be just fine whenever.

my sub is always cold in the morning, same with the amps, MICHIGAN HAS NOTHING ON ALASKA! only thing i dont like is that the enclosure blows out cold air lol.

NO, cold will not hurt your equipment.

NO, cold will not bust subs.

NO, frost on the cone will not hurt your speakers.
