Noob needs reading material

[bsimpson]

What up everyone,

I'm a noob to car audio and need a jump point to get started here. But first a little background. I'm 17 and like all 17 year olds I enjoy loud music and chicks.

So here is my plan, I will be buying a Lincoln Town car from the 70's that will be painted with pinup chicks all over it. It will be hot as hell so I got to thinking; like I said I love loud music and chicks so I have the chicks (because of the car, and on the car for that matter) now I need the loud music.

There in lies the problem, I have fairly extensive experience in the sound reinforcement for venues dept. but I have no idea where to start for car audio.

So I have come to beg for all of the reading materials that you guys can refer me to. Its cool to have a more tech based (white papers and so on) resources I can figure them out.

Thanks for listening to the new guy,
Simpson


PS sorry for the syntax

Simpson,
Among the massive knowledge spread in this forum,
http://www.bcae1.com/ is a good source, not only for the basics.

As for the Lincoln, drive it gentle, ladies enjoy slow rides.
