It all depends on what you want to learn.http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/

For example, here is good info for when you build your own crossover.http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/coils.htm

Another good read. http://homepage.mac.com/jonmar...V.pdf

http://linkwitzlab.com/ Go to concepts.

http://www.quarter-wave.com/General/BSC_Sizing.pdf More good info

http://www.pvconsultants.com/audio/frdgroup.htm Good tools.

http://www.bobgolds.com/AbsorptionCoefficients.htm Gives you an idea of what materials do what to sound.

http://www.carstereo.com/help2/Articles.cfm A lot of good calculators.

I realize a lot of this may be in reference to home audio, but audio is audio and all concepts/ideas remain true for both. Utilzing a lot of home audio concepts will result in a phenominal sounding car system instead of a trunk rattling boom boom system.
