Awesome book 17 July 2009
By eCognition - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is just plain awesome; taking you from total noob, where everyone in your clan is dogging you, to somewhat knowledgeable in no time. It won't show you how to actually install a system yourself; however, if you bought the book, you should'nt be installing one yourself anyways, unless your exceptionally good with electronics, in which case you should buy one dedicated just for that area. For the rest of us, this book will have you running small circles around the 17 year old kid working in the audio department at best buy covering for the other guy who called in sick who was supposed to cover for the other guy who called in sick, and so on and so forth. Buy the book or you'll get robbed by someone trying to sell you what you don't need. The paragraph under the headline "the diminishing returns of increased power" alone saved me hundreds.
Car audio for dummies 20 April 2012
By Robert Gibbins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The title say's it all (for dummies). If you have ever installed a few head units, amplifiers or speakers than I personally would not purchase this book as you will only be flipping thru the pages trying to find something that you haven't already experienced or read online in some forum or such.
Good over view book 7 Feb 2012
By P. Sterling - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good book for all the little things you want to know. It does not go into wiring enough for me. I would have liked more info on that.
