Hi-Fi Forum?
Sorry if this is a no-no asking this but does anyone know any good Hi-Fi Forums?
I used to know what i was doing back when i used to be into car audio but i lost interest and now forget everything. Or even some good sites to read up on general Hi-Fi stuff like speaker and crossover building. Any help would be appreciated.

Although it's aimed mostly at headphones, Head-fi.org should have lots of great info for you.

For headphones and even speakers, too, www.Head-Fi.org.

Audio is Kewl

Head-Fi really doesn't cover very much in the way of speakers, but for components (sources, integrated amps, preamps) it does a fare job.
For speakers I would look at Audio Circle, Audio Asylum, AVS Forum, and general discussion on Audiogon. You might also try asking here first, we could very well have answers for you  .

Thanks all. I found the AVS forum to have alot of what i am looking for including links to sites i used to browse when i was into car audio(4 or so years ago) that have some great calculators for crossovers and box size. Exactly what i was really looking for.

OP Please don't bump so soon.
as mentioned above there are some good discussions on Audiogon, but they aren't as easy to navigate as many other 'actual' forums. AVS has some great information, but there is a lot of low/mid-fi discussion there as well that you will need to wade through if you are looking for hi-fi. Audio circle, audio asylum, audioholics, audiokarma, tweak city audio, all have some very good information ranging from vintage to mid-fi and some hi-fi.

makin' the big noise

I think soloz pretty well nailed the list of all my favorites. I'll also add the PSW Study Hall as a good resource for some of the theory behind why things are like they are in audio (things like power ratings, how amplifiers work, etc). It is generally geared at the pro world and as such a lot of things wont have much relation to what we do here, but some of the fundamental info is simple science and will be the same anywhere.
