Cold weather speaker performance
Hey guys,
I upgraded the speakers in my truck to some polks earlier this fall. They sound great. I noticed when I play music right after starting up in the cold weather, the speakers have zero bass. After I drive for a while, they sound fine. Would this be due to the cold weather or another issue? Because I also have a problem where my 2 rear speakers cut out when playing music loud (around 25 on the dash radio) but when I fade to just the rear and play them loud, the speakers dont do it. And I checked all connections at the speakers and in the dash and all is good. During the warmer temps everything worked fine. Just a cold weather issue probably? Or maybe even something in the head unit?

i have a problem with my audio fading out, but mine is intermittent in all weather conditions. at the same volume of 25. the stereo shop said i was putting the volume too high and its fading the speakers out to prevent damage. the speakers i installed are kenwoods and they can handle something like 150-250 watts a piece, i cant remember exactly how much. and seeing as how the head unit only pushes out 50 watts per speaker i dont see how it can be over powering them. they also suggested i install an amp to power the speakers to get rid of the problem. i dunno i just think its bs and there is a bad connection somewhere...

Well with speakers, its actually easier to damage them with a low powered crap source than a high powered quality source if that makes sense.
I know my old speakers used to cut out all the time regardless of weather. I really dont want a new headunit as I think they look tacky. Maybe an amp would help, but to wire one up would be a pain.
So would you guys agree; its just a crap headunit from the factory?
