Ok, I'm pretty electronically proficient. I've taken 2 classes in high school, know the ins and outs of basic circuit design, understand (although some of the knowledge is a bit rusty) ohms, amps, volts, yadda yadda. I know what capacitors, resistors, IC's, SCR's, and all of that stuff are. I'm also pretty computer proficient. What I'm not, is car savvy. Apart from knowing that a car has an alternator, and the frame is grounded, I'm freakin clueless. I plan on buying a car in the somewhat near future, and upgrading the audio is a must. From what I've gathered, I'll need a 2x12 sub, and a 400+ watt amp, along with a head unit ("radio" in laymans terms, right?) to give some sort of input to the amp and the other speakers. This seems to be the norm. I don't want any absurd anything, I want to have a pretty accurate representation of the recorded material. I don't want stupidly loud bass or anything, and volume isn't that big of a concern personally. So, can someone kind of give me a crash course in this stuff from start to finish, and what I should look for when shopping for this stuff? Also, I would like to install it myself, so help for that would be appreciated. Should I worry about the mids/highs? Or just get some subs and call it a day? Also, it seems that I should have some sort of something to stop echo in the car, no? Idk if that's being too picky though. Thanks for any and all help
