A question for @alexclaber...will it hurt my SC & BB2 to stay in the car with 90-100 degree weather?

Let Alex answer - but remember that 90 - 100 degrees outside, translates to much higher temps inside a car, in the sun, with the windows closed - which is why you should never leave kids or pets in the car unattended.
If you absolutely have to do this - park somewhere relatively safe in the shade and leave windows cracked open an inch or two. Of course this will raise the possibility of a break-in and theft of your cabs.
I'd just recommend - don't ever do it - unless you just have no other choice but to do so.

Definitely not good for the glue holding the cabinet and speaker itself together.
Keep in mind that the speaker is basically in an insulated box, so the speaker will get even that much hotter. Then if you take it from the car directly to rocking at high volumes, the speaker will be VERY hot.
That's just how I see it, and why I never do it

If the car is in the shade then it isn't a problem. If the car is in the sun then it's not a great idea - everything inside cars has to be made to withstand 170F because they get so hot in the sun. If it does reach that worst case scenario then some glues etc could suffer.
Thanks Alex. I try not to subject them to extreme heat but it does happen here in Oklahoma USA!

Just a shout out that my little One10 will be livestreaming on Youtube 11pm HK time tonight! (11am NYC/4pm UK)
Edit: the stream has been taken down after a week, but here's one song from the show. Enjoy!
