- The Ultimate Guide to High-Performance Mobile Systems

Mobile electronics components and systems are advancing at light speed, and the aftermarket offers a huge array of options. In essence, your in-car entertainment experience is only limited by your creativity and budget. DVD players, monitor screens, component speakers, head units, amps, crossover networks, MP3 player (iPod) integration, HD and satellite radio can all come together to create dazzling video and spectacular sound.

How to Design and Install In-Car Entertainment Systems presents the entire spectrum of mobile audio/video components, navigation, communication, and entertainment technology, plus how to complete an integrated stock or custom aftermarket system. It explains how to select, integrate, and install key components and systems under a specific budget for the desired level of performance. This includes design and installation considerations for audio and video, such as DVD players, TV tuners, and video screens (in-dash, in-seat, overhead, rear trunk, etc.), GPS navigation, video game systems, iPod integration with head units, satellite radio, digital audio broadcasting, and even computers (carputers).

The book features how to build kick panels, subwoofer boxes and other installations as well as thorough explanations of professional builds, descriptions of hook-ups, and mechanical upgrades. In addition, it features a complete system build-up sheet to guide you through each step of the
process. If you're looking for a practical hands-on guide to design and install a complete system, you've found it.
