Bear Grillz, Tony said its 2.125x2.125, but will be a tad bigger with the face plate.

sweet cant wait to get 1!

seen that after i posted and finally read through the 5 pages lol

fu*k it im still getting one ill cut a hole in my dash for it if i have to!

Im diging on it,.. most on the color change to "warn"... nicely thought out.....

(And to the turds out there, that drop 3 grand on gear, none of which is any electrical,.. you could use this as a reverse VU meter!!!!!.... )

Count me in......

Need one to replace my stinger

good point hahah!!

I see the man himself eye balling, on the bottom....... nice job Tony.... very well thought out..

any plans for a readout like the stinger?im not really diggin this.guess i gotta be the first one to say it lol.not hating in any way though,jus figured ide make that clear.

what is the point of producing a meter that is exactly the same as another that is already available and probably cheaper since im sure stinger can sell more products than Steve (no offense)

i don't know how this product is exactly the same as the stinger.....it couldn't get any more different. If you don't want one, dont buy one bro, i am not forcing anyone to do anything.

I think you misread my post lol i was defending yours for being different than the stinger but you had to read the post above for it to make sense.

What was meant by my post was why would you make a singerr style meter when there is an abundance of those on the market already, Not saying you are making that style. I like the idea wasn't trying to bash

Edit and sorry for the crappy quoting going on ^

Steve since it does skip every .3v, if your voltage reading is in the middle of one of the readings, which way will it go, up or down? I know .3 isnt really a big deal, just curious.

good question...Tony can probably answer that better. Also, FYI: technically, its only skipping .2v.

Ahh good point. I fail at looking at the pictures. I still have no clue where to fit 2 VU Dins and 2 of these, plus 6 switches, 1 bass knob, 2 8s, and an ipad in my center console.

A couple of notes on how it works.

* It is self calibrating. No means or need to manually calibrate. -- because I could

* The voltage displayed above each LED represents the center of the "range" of each LED. What I mean is that if the LED for "12.8" is displayed the actual voltage would be between 12.65-12.95. The next LED "13.1" would be from 12.95 to 13.25. Ect. So each LED represents a range of 300mV I guess you could say, and the calibration of each LED is centered precisely in the center of the range. -- For the people saying they want to know their "exact" voltage... I assure you this is more accurate than your "digital readout". This is real circuitry, all analog. Robust and self calibrating.

I feel that this is a great way to monitor your voltage. It gives you a visual representation of where the voltage is vs a number that you have to try to read as it is changing. Because that type has to be "read" there has to be circuitry in them to slow them down. So it is really difficult to see the minimums and maximums during musical peaks. This is why some fluke meters have the "min/max" function, because otherwise our brains and eyes aren't fast enough to see them. With this fast responding moving indicator, it's pretty easy.

I hope you love it as much as I do.

Well hurry up then Tony, so I can buy.

J/P man, enjoy your weekend and I look forward to the release.
