[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 8697226, member: 547749"] [B]I need your opinion[/B] - I think you'll like what I'm possibly creating, so please read. It's your best interest that I'm shooting for. [B][I]Please leave your opinion below.[/I][/B] There have ALWAYS been the stupid questions on forums, Facebook, etc... ALWAYS been the "is this any good" and "should I buy this" threads, and ALWAYS the "Search the forum, idiot" responses. Both the newbies and experienced have valid reasons for frustration. Yeah, there's good argument for "Search, moron!". Yeah, there's dozens of "stickies" on all the forums or Help 101 here - Yeah, if someone read through those, even on just one forum... but come on. That's a LOT of reading. I'm trying to build a better way... something more 2020 than a book or blog: [LIST] [*][I]Something interactive[/I] - Maybe an app (I can program). Example: a picture of an interior, and you tap somewhere to jump to that topic. [*][I]Something categorical [/I]- Subs/boxes, component sets, SQ concepts and issues, car electrical, etc. Whatever you tapped. [*][I]Something progressive[/I] - For each topic, layers: Basics (brief/generalizations), then if interested in more - intermediate, then advanced. [*][I]Wiki-ish[/I] - meaning, if some info was thought to be inaccurate, it could be flagged for me to correct it - or even group moderated like a wiki. [*][I]A toolbox -[/I] meaning, I could embed DIY tools (think: WinISD, crossover design, test tones), links to videos (like Car Audio Fabrication channel vids on YouTube), links to online "best of breed" discussions (forum agnostic) - etc. [/LIST] [B]Goal being:[/B] make it easy to get a newbie started, and also make it easy to dig deeper for experts - or to become one. [B]Before I start trying to write, I want to know if I should bother. Please: a)[/B] Do you (or did you) wish something like this existed? [B]b) [/B]What part jumps out at you? (good or bad) [B]c)[/B] What would you want in a DIY car audio resource? [B]d)[/B] Do you consider yourself a newbie, mid-level, or experienced DIYer? (or pro - installer, sales, etc) Thanks for all replies. :cool: [/QUOTE]
