Does cold weather affect sound?

It's been like below zero for a few days where I live and was wondering how cold weather can affect my gear. I'm almost positive it has some effect, i don't know how significant but want to know what and why. Thx

The music may appear to be louder in the cold dry air because there is less air density compared to hot humid weather.

Id make sure to let the car cabin were the sub and amp are warm up a little before hittin it hard. Subs have been known to damage in extreme cold. The amp will warm up as it plays just watch out for persipitation.

Play it low till the amp and voice coils on the sub warm up.
