Session 2
Course Name: Electronics 101
Instructor: TBD
Course Details
This is an exceptionally informative course on electronics as applied in an automotive environment. Get up to speed on the fundamentals. Learn the full use of a digital multimeter (DMM) and concepts like DC voltage, DC current, current draw pitfalls, resistance versus continuity as well as a detailed overview of critical electrical components like resistors, diodes, relays, fuse types, motors using wound coils (magnetics) and more. This class is ideal for anyone who hasn’t had any formal automotive electrical training and will help speed up your installs or troubleshooting existing installs.

Session 3
Course Name: Acoustics & Tuning
Instructor: TBD
Course Details
In this highly informative course you will learn the value of first listing to the customer’s expectations and then how to approach designing their audio system. Building of the OEM Audio Integration course, you’ll review considerations for the appropriate integration (process and interface parts) that suit the goals. You’ll also learn about the art/science of selecting speakers as well as the ideal locations. Amplifier power and signal processing considerations are also covered to allow the speakers to reproduce great audio without distortion, clipping or uneven frequency response. Finally, you’ll learn about using automation like CNC laser or 3D printing to increase the performance of parts of the audio system. This is an ideal course for those interested in a proven process to always achieve a great sounding installation.

Session 4
Course Name: OEM Audio Integration
Instructor: TBD
Course Details
Many car audio installations these days require retaining the factory source unit. In those cases, a proper approach to that factory integration to allow aftermarket DSP, amplifiers and speakers is necessary to achieve favorable results. This course covers the fundamentals all the way up to DSP inputs. You’ll learn how to identify and measure two-channel versus multi-channel audio systems, system design tips based on what results you find, the many interfaces available and which interface types apply to which types of OEM audio system. Also there are useful everyday tips that highlight simply looking at the vehicle and listening to the factory audio system to get basic information for quoting a job or doing additional research on solutions for interfacing.
