Years ago, enthusiasts had limited in-car entertainment system
options. One could install a high-performance head unit, amp,
speakers, and upgrade a few other components, and that was about
it. Today, in-car entertainment system options are virtually
limitless, and they are one of the most popular automotive
upgrades. In fact, upgrading or replacing a stock stereo system is
just the tip of the in-car entertainment iceberg. Enthusiasts can
install a complete entertainment system, including audio and video,
MP3 player (iPod), HD radio, satellite radio, and more. Video
monitors for DVD and game systems can be incorporated in the dash,
head rest, or anywhere else. When you consider GPS navigation and
hands-free Bluetooth cell phone systems, the options are only
limited by a person's creativity and budget. How to Design and
Install In-Car Entertainment Systems presents the entire spectrum
of audio/video, navigation, communication, and entertainment
technology, and explains how you can create a complete custom
system or an integrated stock/aftermarket system. It explains how
to plan, select, integrate, and install popular systems under a
specific budget for a certain level of performance. This includes
design and installation considerations for amps, head units, GPS
navigation, iPod integration with head units, satellite radio,
digital audio broadcasting, and even computers (carputers). It
features how-to installations, thorough explanations for building
subwoofer boxes, fabricating kick panels, electrical upgrades such
as charging systems, and a comprehensive resource guide.
Skylarks, GSXs, Grand Nationals, Rivieras, Gran Sports; the list of
formidable performance Buicks is impressive. From the torque
monsters of the 1960s to the high-flying Turbo models of the '80s,
Buicks have a unique place in performance history.During the 1960s,
when word of the mountains of torque supplied by the big-inch
Buicks hit the street, nobody wanted to mess with them. Later,
big-inch Buicks and the Hemi Chryslers went at it hammer and tongs
in stock drag shootouts and in the pages of the popular musclecar
magazines of the day. The wars between the Turbo Buicks and Mustang
GTs in the 1980s also were legendary, as both cars responded so
well to modifications.The photos in this edition are black and
white.For years enthusiasts of General Motors vehicles that were
not Chevys have had to struggle to find information about
performance modifying their beloved Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, and
Buicks. It seems that every other performance book was another
twist to modifying the small- or big-block Chevy, with nothing on
the other General marques. The magazines haven't been any better.
With the recent publication of our How to Build Max-Performance
Pontiacs book, and now this book, all of that is changing Enter How
to Build Max-Performance Buick Engines How to Build Max-Performance
Buick Engines is the first performance engine book ever published
on the Buick family of engines. This book covers everything from
the Nailheads of the '50s and early '60s, to the later evolutions
of the Buick V-8 through the '60s and '70s, through to the turbo
V-6 models of the '70s and '80s. Veteran magazine writer and Buick
owner Jefferson Bryant supplies the most up-to-date information on
heads, blocks, cams, rotating assemblies, interchangeability, and
oiling-system improvements and modifications, along with details on
the best performance options available, avenues for aftermarket
support, and so much more. Finally, the Buick camp gets the
information they have been waiting for, and it's all right here in
