4.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for the rookie intaller!, March 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Design and Install High Performance Car Stereo: A Beginner's Guide to High Tech Auto Sound Systems (S-A Design) (Paperback)

This fabulous book explains the technical installation in an understandable fashion. The pictures are pretty lame, but they do a good job of showing you what you should and should not do. Everthing from amps to speakers to decks is simplified in such a manner that anyone should be able to install their own stereo after readin' the book

3.0 out of 5 stars It could be handy..., July 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Design and Install High Performance Car Stereo: A Beginner's Guide to High Tech Auto Sound Systems (S-A Design) (Paperback)

Well this book wasn't written for the pros. If you're a profressional looking for new tricks and techniques then this book isn't for you. However if you're an amateur installer, or simply a do-it-yourself-er, this book can be extremely handy. It gives a few time-saving tips, as well as cautions you and tells you where most mistakes are made. This book was handy for me, a do-it-yourself-er, and helped me avoid a very tragic mistake that saved me about $... To me the book was worth it.

Don Kirby - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Design and Install High Performance Car Stereo: A Beginner's Guide to High Tech Auto Sound Systems (S-A Design) (Paperback)

I have used this book mostly for ideas. And building my doors and front pods. It covers many helpful things most other books don't.
