Default Good resources for newbs

Howdy folks. Picking up my new car soon ('94 25th anniv. trans am) and I'm going to be putting alot of money into a sound system.

Anyone know any good websites that explain car audio? Lol a broad question I know. I don't know anything about it, so I'm looking for some good resources. I'd like to be informed on purchases I'm going to make, rather than just ask "hey what should I buy?"

Thanks guys.

my personal favorite websites for car audio information are www.fbodyaudio.com and www.carsound.com . BUT... If you are new to electronics, I highly recommend you check out this site, and become familiar with the basics first:

Yes. It's a V6 forum, but the stereo section is great!
