audio1der Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 After seeing the ubiquitous Stinger voltage guage in so many of your videos I grabbed one off Amazon (for half of Stingers MSRP bby the way). Is there a best +12V source to monitor the volage off of? Or would any +12V line in the car give you a pretty representative voltage that your amps would be seeing? Thought there migh be others wondering too? Have a great day all!

I WOULD RECOMMEND PUTTING IT IN THE AMP THATS GOING TO YOUR AUDIO BATTERY OR STARTING BATTERY, BECAUSE YOU WOULD KNOW HOW MUCH VOLTAGE YOUR AMP IS WITH WITHDRAWING FROM THE BATTERY.

Rainman215 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I run it off the inputs of the amp... That's what you care about in the end right.

Autoinnovations Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I ran mine to the power close to the amp. Used a relay to make it switched power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio1der Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I ran mine to the power close to the amp. Used a relay to make it switched power So you monitor the constant +12V in to the amp, with the relay to ensure it's switched to the gauage? Smart- I was wondering about that.
