ORDER - U.S.A. - Car Audio For Dummies.THE CAR STEREO COOKBOOK
My review copy of "Car Stereo Cookbook", (How to Design, Choose, and Install Car Stereo Systems), is very well written by Mark Rumreich. It is published by Mc Graw-Hill who kindly provided me with my review copy. If you ever intend to spend serious money on a quality car stereo system then buy this book. The common pitfalls to avoid, as disclosed by "The Car Stereo Cookbook" will handsomely repay your modest investment in this book. Car Stereo Systems usually require the expenditure of some really "serious" money to get the desired results, and unless your decisions are very informed ones, it is all too easy to get burned big time financially. I honestly recommend you definitely buy a copy of "Car Stereo Cookbook" to save yourself financial pain.
In the introduction Mark says: "The Car Stereo Cookbook provides a comprehensive and well organised guide to designing, choosing, and installing car car stereo systems. It's geared toward the technically orientated do-it-yourselfer who is interested in car stereo. It assumes some familiarity with car stereo's, but you don't need to have a degree in electronics or have installed a car stereo before".
