So here's the deal. This forum contains a wealth of valuable websites. The problem is, they're scattered across thousands of threads. My goal is to gather these little treasures and keep them in reference form..but I'm going to need help from the great guys and gals of this forum to accomplish this. We've narrowed it down to Seven categories.

Rules are as follows.

*no need to number posts now, as the good folks at Club Polk have taken care of that*

1. Put the website at the top of your post. This will keep the reference system fast.

2. Keep discussion at zero. This will keep the reference quick, easy and painless.. Plus it will remove the chances of flaming/hijacking. Anyway, I figure you'll post a thread about the site and have the discussion elsewhere.

3. Post as many as you can possibly think of. There can't be too many. The more the merrier.

4. Enjoy, use, and post often.

Catagories:

***Home Audio***

Do It Yourself - Racks, Brackets, Cabling, Acoustic Treatments, Amps, Lighting, etc... Just Build Stuff.

Room Acoustics - Speaker Placement, Placement Of Acoustic Treatments, Free Room Analysis Sites, Calibration etc... Make Your Room Sound Better.

Tweaks And Mods - Dynamat Inside Components, Crossovers, Component Isolation, Component Mods etc... Whatever, lets get tweeky.

Audio Gear - Places To Get Stuff.

While I sound like a control freak, I'm actually not. I welcome feedback and will streamline this reference system with the help from all of you. I feel this will be a very useful Home And Car Audio Tool for many, many people.
