"for your car" ?

For what purpose?

[swagger_wagon468 53]

why do you not want the "typical stinger meter"? You can get it un red ir blue to march your head unit. And its easy to install...

i want it for my car because my car does not have one. and i want a digital one because i want to know exactly what my car is running at when the stereo is on. and i dont want the stinger one because im not a fan of the way it looks

Not to be rude, but that's all that's really out there. There isn't much need for different ones. I suppose if you really want a different one, buy a stinger volt meter and then take it apart and make it look how you want to. But i am guessing you don't want to do that much work for a volt meter. So i recommend just getting a stinger

These imo look better then stinger and are smaller.

Shouldn't really have your system in a spot where you would need one, if so, then you have other issues. For setup fine, but then a non-permanent one is a much better solution.

MY cousin gave me one of these that was missing all its screws, so i pulled the blue part out soldered a piece of wire to the short wires it had and ran it to my battery. it works better then my factory volt gauge. once i figure out where i want to mount it and have time im gonna pull it out of the blue part and flush mount it in the dash. all it is is a little circuit board about 2"x1" and the screen sticks out off the board about 1/2"-3/4'. so ill dremal a hole where i can fit the screen through nice and snug to hold it in. and the screen is like a 3/4" square and pretty bright. my gma seen it on her security cam and thought a light was on in my car . also it lights up red dunno if it comes in other colors

No volt meter is permanent. A volt meter can always be removed. The use of a volt meter with an altered electrical system in a vehicle is an excellent safety gauge. The placement of the volt meter within the electrical path is crucial IMO. Having a volt meter inline with the amplifier's power input is best IMO.

I guess you do not have an engine temperature gauge in your car either?

There are many DIY kits available, do a google search. The only real limitation is your soldering/electrical skills.

second that... I like the look alot better...

[Fatboy501 1]

I don't know what company I'm going to go with. I'm going to do pods on my a-pillar, and mount a voltmeter in one of the slots. Would it be stupid to have one for each amp?

the one i ordered from ebay says it shipped and should be here around march 6th. once i get it ill will take pictures of it and do a little review on it

[swagger_wagon468 53]

MARCH 6th?!?!

[illestG 0]

yea i know its going to take forever. china takes long to ship i guess

If you want one then no. I currently have a triple gauge pod on my dash and only two are being used at the moment. Planning on purchasing one of the glowshift ones to match my defi ones origionally

[Fatboy501 1]

That's good to know... all they make for my car is a triple guage pod, and I don't want two empty slots. Besides, that's an excuse to run 3 amps
