I can try to dig out my old electronics coursework.
My degree was in Sound Technology, and one of the assignments was building an amplifier, so it could be of use.

What depth of information do you need, and when do you need it? I'll still have all my course texts in my parents' loft which I can dig out at some point if that's what you're after.

This is quite good or beginners.

As said above, this is one of the best books around but is not cheap.
I think everybody in the industry has learnt from the Art of Electronics; it's an excellent book for the basics. For the basics it's excellent but it is showing its age.
Principles of Electronic Circuits by Floyd is also a good alternative.
If analogue is your interest after AoE I would move on to Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits by Sergio Franco. It's one of if not the best texts on Analogue design.

If you want DIY projects, I recently brought The Audiophile's Project Sourcebook from Amazon
Not actually done anything from it yet, but had a flick through.

+1 , a classic!
WOW!! You guys have no idea how excited I just got seeing these books. Thank you all so much for these recommendations.
I graduated about five years ago with my EE and absolutely enjoyed every second of the course material. I managed to get a 2:1 and felt really confident with my knowledge but I was lured away from the Electronics side by consultancy... more the outrageous wages they pay.
So now I'm five years past my prime and I've been hired as a junior Electronics Circuit Design Engineer, so I'm trying to get to grips with it all again.
I'll take a look into all these. So far I'm pretty close to purchasing:
Art of Electronics
Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits by Sergio Franco
Advanced Engineering Mathematics
The Op Amps book looks absolutely fantastic, very close to the type of work I'm doing for my company but it's 150 minimum to buy that book!
PS: Thank you for this reasource, I'll definitely be using this too!

John Bird was the guy who was recommended by my Tutor, which was basically all the stuff we learnt, he does electronic and electrical books and also maths books.
Stuff like these:

This was the book I started with ....

Simple Electronics - for the whopping price of 50p! Although it was in the very early 1980s and I was only aged six!
Have to recommend the Art of Electronics though... still got that amongst piles of electronics books.

There's a website I used a lot when doing by GCSEs. It came highly recommened by our teacher. It looks like the guy making it has started redesigning it so it's not quite all together. These sections are worth checking out:

Nice sig btw! Haha!
Just bought this one, it looks fantastic. THANK YOU.
If only I could afford the op amp book by Sergio Franco mentioned above, that seems to be covering precisely the same work I do right now!

Are you specifically looking at automotive audio, or are you interested in automotive stuff in general?
Most automotive stuff these days relates around Canbus. I recall a friend telling me about his Merc training and just how intricate the systems are.
