Car Stereo Cookbook (TAB Electronics)

This book is amazing. It goes into the heart of detail when it comes to building and customizing your automotive audio systems. It also goes even better with the software to build subwoofer boxes. Get your copy today!!

Works great

Is a little dated but can give someone who is in the beginning stages of Car audio a good path to go down.

With a book of almost 300 pages I expected much more detailed explanations. The author introduces technical aspects but hardly ever explains what they mean ie cross over slopes. Set-up information is limited to wiring diagrams, you never seen any real installation pictures. And then there are diagrams for dual preamps head outputs but the pictures show one one set going to the amps. Then there is a huge chapter on subwoofers and the author gives no information on techniques for mounting the box to the car. The head installation was way to general. Good points made are setting up speakers for best ohm ratings (serial vs parallel), determining voltage with a multimeter, what power cable gauge to use. The book is several years old and seems out of date on some subject matter. There is also a lot of dialog on things that are obvious. Consider this book for tips, not as a bible for installing since you won't find too much on how to actually install anything.

very informative book I feel ready to do my own install with confidence instead of trepidation because of this book. Now I just need to break down and buy the system.

I found this very useful, good and varied explanations, made it much easier to decide which components to buy.

Nice product, worth the price!

Do not buy! There is not any of the information you want in there. It is basically a giant advertisement for Harman group products.

Good book.

if you are looking to install your own system, this book is more a pro's guide than a starters guide.

It a good book with info of stereo info. Pretty good, was good help.
