Well, I have a buncha free stereo system test tones that I made. If you wanna download 'em, go for it. Make a CD. Boom away. Test your ranges on your system. Cheap....free! Lemme know how you use them, peeps. (btw I am new here....nice place so far. will be checking in daily...) NINO

well go to the library and look for books on car audio. you are lucky to find anything. if i was to go to the library to do research on car audio. most likely, and thanks to bill gates for it, i would end up on their computers surfing the net for information. there are a few choice reads though if you are lucky enough to find them. "the car stereo cookbook" for example (i think thats what its called) .

So true, if you do find something it would be so old that it couldn't really be applied to some of the newer vehicles out there.
