Car Stereo Cookbook

The book covered everything from A to Z! Very informative. It has a substantial amount of pictures and diagrams. It even had some product recommendations. Overall, it is a really good educational tool.

This book provides excellent background info, good design criteria, and photos illustrating similar installations to those discussed in the different sections. I found the book quite helpful.

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.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 the financial pain.

I say a lot of unkind things about most audio books. But not this book. If you where going to just buy one or two books on car audio This would be the first one to buy. If you don't have a clue about car audio this book will get you past most of the smoke and lies. It will give you enough information about what system is best for you. Even if you never did anything like this before. The next would be CAR STEREO SPEAKER PROJECTS ILLUSTRATED by Dan Ferguson and for ideas his old book KILLER CAR STEREO ON A BUDGET. discontinued but still available.

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.
