neonhomer Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Any thoughts on making a horizontal or vertical bar version? I love the concept of the VM-1 (going to be ordering one hopefully on Wednesday), but the size makes it a bit difficult to find a place in my Passat to mount it. I was thinking a horizontal bar graph style would be a compact design for tight spaces... Though I just had a thought! Mount it to the visor! Then you can flip it down when you need to see it, and flip it out of the way when you don't! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keagan-Z06 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Where is the best place to wire the VM-1, are most of you guys hooking it up directly to the power, ground, remote of your amp? Should I want the actual read out of my battery/alternator or the output from the amp? I will not be using the cig adapter.

Thanks, Keagan if you want to monitor your amplifier, than the best place you can wire it is directly to the +/- terminals, and the remote turn on.

Sorry, I was to say monitor the alternator voltage and not the voltage at the amplifier. Or it doesn't matter? Would it be that much of a difference whether I do it at the amp vs the Alternator?

neonhomer Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 With car audio, you are better off knowing what kind of voltage your amp is seeing, than what the alt is putting out. It does no good to know your alt is putting out 14v, but your amp is probably getting 12.8v because you have a bad wire. This is where having dual voltage gauges helps. You can read the output of your alt, and the input to the amps. Can help to spot wiring troubles. With multi-amp systems, you can monitor at the closest distribution block that serves all amps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That about pretty much clears it up for me! Thanks man!
