Product Description
Product Description
The first edition of this book was written six years ago. Since then, there have been some significant developments in the area of car audio (and video). In addition, many of the products featured in the first edition are now obsolete. While the first edition of the book continues to sell, we have seen a bit of a slow-down at major accounts. This edition promises to be even more successful than the last. Car Stereo Cookbook, 2e is a completely revamped edition of a hugely successful title that continues to sell. This revised book will include new information on mobile video, satellite radio, mp3, wma, digital broadcast radio, and will eliminate the out-of-date products that are no longer pertinent.
From the Back Cover
Build a kickin' 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 exactly the car stereo you want: Build it yourself. Written by a master of audio electronics -- and now completely updated to include the latest audio and video technologies, The Car Stereo Cookbook shows you how to plan your design, choose your components, install them optimally -- and save lots of money!
Unlike books that cover only specific systems, this book shows you how to customize. With the Cookbook, your system will fit your tastes, your budget, and your car or truck, whether it's a rad SUV or your Dad's antique Chevy. Featuring guidance on the right specialty tools, and step-by-step instructions for 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.

The Perfect book for the not-so-beginning installer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Car Stereo Cookbook: How to Design, Choose and Install Car Stereo Systems (TAB Electronics Technical Library) (Paperback)
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.

Car Audio Enthusiast...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Car Stereo Cookbook: How to Design, Choose and Install Car Stereo Systems (TAB Electronics Technical Library) (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!

Very informative, but confusing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Car Stereo Cookbook: How to Design, Choose and Install Car Stereo Systems (TAB Electronics Technical Library) (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.
