In this segment students will learn how to properly design audio and mobile video systems. They will learn important OEM information that is current with today’s technology and modern vehicles. They will learn about sound theory and how to distinguish between good and bad quality sound by using industry software programs and tools. In addition, extensive troubleshooting topics that the everyday installer encounters will be analyzed. Students will perform different hands on practice to gain experience with the removal of car panels, wire routing, equipment installation, and completing the job. Students will be allowed to use their vehicles for practice. Students who do not have vehicles will be provided a vehicle to work on. That will be either a school vehicle or a customer’s vehicle.
