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include new information on mobile video, satellite radio, mp3, wma, digital broadcast radio, and will eliminate the out-of-date products that are no longer pertinent.

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!

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.

  • Achieve the Extreme in Mobile Entertainment. Integrate new technologies such as MP3, WMA, HD Radio, 5.1 channel sound, including mobile video and satellite radio.
  • Upgrade premium factory sound systems such as Delco/Bose and Ford/JBL.
  • Choose, follow, and customize one of the many subwoofer projects discussed.
  • Get more amp power for your money.

  • Interface a CD changer or digital music player with any system.

I was happy with the pricing (some other sites asking for DOUBLE what I paid), the quality of the book, and, most of all, the shipping. I received the book a day before the estimated delivery time, which, whether it was just an error or something, was most pleasing. Over all, a very good experience. My only problem with this, and just about all other listings, is that there wasn't a lot of information on the page about this book. I had to do my research on this book on other sites to see if it was right for me before I bought it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Contains some helpful tips

j. · April 25, 2004

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the $

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just an ad for Harman

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