Default Acronyms and definitions. What to Put in there

2MuchRiceMakesMeSick (damn that's a long name, lol) and I have been putting together a Commonly Asked Question Thread and I'm looking for Some feedback and Some imput to make it better.

Right Now I'm going to Concentrate on an Acronyms and Definitions Link inside the CAQ and I'm needing input on some of the Acronyms we use like H.U., Amp, Cap, stuff like that.


Any and All suggestions would be appreciated for this area. We have some Terms that are unique to Car Audio and Electronics and this will help those who don't feel comfortable asking "What's a H.U." for example.
