2. Gain:
The difference in the amplitude of two signals. This is commonly used to compare the input and output of an electronic component. (e.g., Richard's tweeters were not loud enough, so he turned up the gain on his high-frequency crossover output.)

5. Gas Plasma
Definition:Gas plasma emitters are a type of Horn Driver wherein a plasma or ionized gas field is developed and then propelled between two electrostatic grids. The onrushing gas is then compacted or dispersed in conformity to the frequency and level of the high voltage input signal. This type of driver, while very effective, is also extremely expensive, and so has not been commercially successful.

6. Generator-A machine that produces AC electricity from a rotating coil interaction within a magnetic field. In automotive applications, a rectifier is used to convert this output to DC. Also, an electronic device used for converting DC voltage into AC of a given frequency and wave shape. An amplifier is often a form of generator.

13. Graphic equalizer:-A multi-band variable equalizer using slide controls as the amplitude adjustable elements. Named for the positions of the sliders "graphically" illustrating the resulting frequency response of the equalizer. Only found on active (amplified)designs. Center frequency and bandwidth are fixed for each band.

16. Ground
A term that describes anything having an electrical potential of zero relative to other points in a circuit. Most modern vehicles are designed around a negative ground system, with the metal frame being the vehicle's ground.
