Anyone know some helpful sites?

I'm a straight up newb/beginner/know nothing about car audio.

I'm looking for a site that is perhaps a guide and can teach me things. Almost like a "How To" for car audio.

I could ask questions here, but I don't even know what to ask about. Would just like something to read to start off and go from there. Yes I've googled but haven't come up with much.

Subs/Amps/"Ohms"/Head Units/Boxes/"Front"

All of that. Plus anything related to it and more, I don't really know about.

For the forumlas on BCAE1 it has...

P = Power in Watts

E = Electromotive Force in Volts

I = Electrical Current in Amps

R = Electrical Resistance in Ohms

Is that what letters are ALWAYS used? Or can it be simpler as in...

W = Power in Watts

V = Electromotive Force in Volts

A = Electrical Current in Amps

O = Electrical Resistance in Ohms

Power is measured in watts but that's not it's symbol

Volts is generally referred to as V

Current is always I. Again, it's measured in amps but that's not it's symbol

Resistance is R (for Resistance, duh) not O.

Well for general use on this site, if you refer to voltage as "E" 95% of the users will have no idea what your talking about //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
