A friend of a friend was asking "how does he (me) know about boxes and stereo stuff?"

So i posted this on his mybspace and it seemed to be a good starting point.

If nothing else hit up JL Audio's site (JLaudio.com in any search should find it) and go to the TUTORIAL section it has wiring diagrams, ohms law (the important parts), and how to's on boxes including fiberglass and doorpods etc.

If that doesn't help or is "too hard" to get thru you may just wanna pay a guy like Ray and go have a beer while he pimps ur ride...or maybe drop ur ride off and hitch a ride to work so you can make some $$ to pay for your new install.

Truthfully tho-I have 100 times more respect for someone who builds his setup and has it sound "good" than a guy who pays for the same setup and don't know the difference between a woofer and a tweeter.

~2 more cents.

I'm basically a "self made" installer/box head myself.

No formal training/apprenticeship and no enclosures ever built for a shop (I've done deck+2/deck+4 for a few months @ 1 shop but I quit cuz I wasn't a fan of the owner and I was DYING watching them do "custom work" quite badly.

Just started working on my bro's cars and his friends rides in 7th grade and bough my share of CA&E mags, went crazy in the audio sites reading and gettin edjumacated.

Not to sound like a Broken record or nuthin...but Knowledge IS Power.

I prefer sticking to this forum because it offers the least amount of BS. Before this forum I learned every thing thru termpro, ca, roe, sound domain forums, re forum and many more that I have saved in my favorites.
