Book Description

1 Sep 1998 TAB Electronics Technical Library
Rap, reggae, rock, or Rachmaninoff -- if you yearn for sound in your car that will make your friends drool, this book has your answers. Whether you want to pulsate the pavement or simply enjoy top-level clarity and music reproduction, this book will show you how to plan your design, choose your components, install them optimally and save a lot of money! Unlike books that cover only specific systems, the Cookbook shows you how to customize. With the Cookbook, your system will fit your tastes, your budget, and your car or truck.

Organized by component type, the Cookbook clearly shows you how to achieve good imaging; upgrade premium factory sound systems such as Delco/Bose and Ford/JBL; get more amp power for your money; properly set amplifier gains; install and set up an equalizer with or without a real-time analyzer; interface a CD changer; pick the right power line capacitors, speaker wire, patch cables, and sound-deadening devices; avoid common automotive noise problems; and a lot more!

Featuring guidance on the right specialty tools and step-by-step instructions for difficult procedures, "The Car Stereo Cookbook" makes sure that the special sound you've imagined in your head becomes the sound you hear in your car!

Product Description

Review

Overall, this book is a welcome oasis of knowledge and affordable car stereo solutions amidst a desert of info-barren hype in the car stereo magazines. And Mr. Rumreich's comprehensive description, explanation, and wide spectrum of solutions will enable you to have first-rate mobile sound with a modest budget. As an old car-stereo fanatic, I highly recommend this book.

From the Back Cover

Build your own super sound system on wheels! Rap, reggae, rock, or Rachmaninoff whether you crave a window-rattling rolling boom box or the most faithful auto music reproduction, there's only one good way to get the car stereo you want: Build it yourself. Here's the only guide you need to cook up your ultimate vehicular audio feast. Written by a master of audio electronics, The Car Stereo Cookbook shows you how to plan your design, choose your components, install them optimally and save a lot of money! Unlike books that cover only specific systems, the Cookbookshows you how to customize. With the Cookbook, your system will fit your tastes, your budget, and your car or truck, whether it's a radical sport utility vehicle or your Dad'sold Chevy.

The book is clearly organized by project type from speakers, subwoofers, and amps to equalizers, bi-amping, and accessories so you can quickly find the information you need on all the ingredients your dream machine requires. Featuring guidance on using the right specialty tools and step-by-step instructions for more difficult procedures, The Car Stereo Cookbook puts you in the fast lane to the custom auto sound system that'll leave your friends' pathetic factory-made output choking in your dust.

This book is absolutely great. I would suggest that beginners look into less complicated literature first, but, once you want more advanced info, get this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Car Audio Enthusiast... 10 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I just received my copy of this book from Amazon.com... it has a good amout of general information but could really use a good glossary of terms used. I got lost trying to understand serial vs. parallel wiring of speakers... why would you do this? What do you gain and sacrafice? All in all it was helpful - parts of my system will be professionally installed, some I'll do-it-myself... It was nice to be able to actually find a book on this subject!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, but confusing 17 April 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I'm the type that knows nothing of car audio. I bought this book and was able to install my CD deck. However, when reading about amplifiers, subwoofers, etc I got lost. There is too much unfamiliar terminology.
