post a sticky explaining in layman's terms all about car audio...

i took Electricity & Magnetism in college and i still don't understand how Hz, Ohm's, Capacitors, etc apply to car stereos...

this is something i'd really appreciate as well as many other people who know how to rebuild a tranny but don't jack about systems...

thanks to anyone bold enough for this task

There was a long one I had a while back asking about ohms and it had a lot of good info on there.

Read the FAQ thread at the top of the board. There are several websites in there that explain that stuff in excruciating detail. an intelligent 3rd grader should be able to understand most of it on a couple of the websites in there.

 

duuurrr...thanks...that FAQ has everything i need...again, i feel dumb
