Default Cold temperature

What's the rules for playing system in the cold. Is it bad idea to be in garage tuning sled heater on 70 deg then take bike out of garage to outside temps in the low 30's no ride time just getting better idea of sound without garage acoustics. Things get brittle at this temps

Makes no difference inside or out.

Like any other mechanical/electrical components, letting them warm up in cold weather before putting significant power to them will help with longevity. The rubber surround on any speaker will perform better once warmed up a bit

My gear is just thinsulate lined jeans, a hoodie, leather jacket, and gloves. It's only a 40 mile round trip but it's my mental health time. If I could keep my fingers warm I'd be set. Lol
