Ok, so I know absolutely nothing about car stereos, or even audio stuff in general, but after buying the Empeg I am finding myself sinking more and more money into my sound system. (I suppose that means I am hooked) I have bought several things from Ebay and am considering installing it myself and have been looking for tutorials and info. I have found several good websites but still feel I don't have enough hands-on info on actually installing things. Here is my reading list so far:
Everyone knows this one from the FAQ - http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/caraudio.htm
Install info for specific cars - http://www.installdr.com/home.html
The faq from rec.audio.car (Mar 2000) - http://www.mobileaudio.com/rac-faq/rac-faq_toc.html
Some limited info - http://www.caraudioanswers.com/
A very short little head unit install tutorial: http://www.18002526123.com/custasps/modelpageCarAudioSystemAudiophaseCA711.asp
A lot of tiny how-tos and tips by all different people: http://www.epinions.com/elec-Car_Stereo-Topics-2
Some very specific how-tos: http://www.ofsoundmind.com/main.htm
Some interesting datasheets and a subwoofer box tutorial: http://www.crossfirecaraudio.com/
Information on subwoofer enclosures: http://www.spiceisle.com/audiodiy/
MBQuart has a some good info: http://www.mbquart.com/ma-tech.htm
Crutchfield has a little manual: http://www.crutchfield.com/download/S-ZBTVfuXyLIN/carguide.html
Seems like a lot, but a good chunk is the same kind of info. If I see another description of the difference between a Sealed and Bandpass subwoofer setup, I am going to kill myself
So my question is, anybody know of any more good tutorials? Specifically more advanced stuff like Dynamat installing or putting Caps in?
