Sup fellas, My name is Dante (for those who don't know) owner of WCCAudio, well over at WestcoastCarAudio.net we are trying to gather USEFUL information all over the net. As we are all still representing the Westcoast in the forum we want to invite everyone from all over. What we are creating is a Library of Tutorials and Need to know information for all users in an organized way. Either you're still learning, wanting to increase your knowledge in Car Audio, or you're a pro already and just want to learn new things. This forum should be a great resource for you.

So far the database has a good handful of information, but I would love if I can include the car audio enthusiasts community in this and add to the database. Hoping it will prevent repeated questions and such.

Here is what we are building up so far:

If you have something we can add or important information, talk and add it over here:

We are also looking for the tutorial on how to recone a subwoofer posted a couple years ago. It was a RE sub, I think a SE.

I lost it when my computer died.

Decware...they need to stick to designing enclosures. Some of the 'facts' he has spewed about car audio installation leave much to be desired.

I agree, but in return for reading through his articles, you come across some very interesting things.

During a recent interview with Srajan Ebaen of 6-Moons, he made the observation that many accomplished musicians have rather mediocre stereo gear. Gear that by most audiophiles standards would be considered mid-fi at best. His explanation was basically that musicians play a participatory role in the experience of music. They only need a guideline or sketch of the music to recreate it in their minds which explains why when offered hi-end stereo gear to replace their mid-fi components most showed little if any interest.
The point of all this is that during a human beings shift from discovering music as a child to becoming a seasoned audiophile, the participatory or imaginative process employed when enjoying music when you were young (regardless of sound quality) is gradually replaced with expensive audiophile gear. Srajan accurately points out that this attempt at substitution does not work. What it does do is create restlessness in audiophiles while they passively wait for their wonder gear to get them off on command. This is the reason why audiophiles constantly go through different gear in that never ending search for something that they used to have as a child, or can only find at a live concert hall.

These comments help to define the active role of enjoying music to draw a clear contrast with the way a reviewer must listen while writing a review. Two different things that were never meant to overlap but often audiophiles who are supposed to be enjoying music are instead trying to hear all of the adjectives they read in the reviews.

The rest of the article didn't catch my interest, but that first part hits home for me.
