Most subs are broke in before leaving the factory. Its called a burn in test. Basically you play a extended low frequency for X amount of time (depends on the size of the coil/wire/windings). Then you let the coil cool down completely. I wouldnt worry about it but I also wouldnt beat on it right from the start.
Since you are in a cold climate, don't blast the Speaker when it is cold. Keep the volume on low for a couple of minutes. That will warm up the Internals of the speaker and help them last longer.
