what size wire you guys running for your volt meters


Recommended Posts

Do you know how much current that wire would have to pull to melt?? You have some serious issues if it melts.

My voltmeter stays on 24/7 if it had anywhere near the current draw to melt 20gauge wire I would have a dead battery all the time.

You might know a wire will melt if it can't handle the current draw, but you clearly have no idea how much draw is needed, or how much your meter draws.

Dont sweat the size wire, get some Primary wire form autozone and put it in..or whatever size wire that it came with. Don't sweat the small stuff man.

I think theyre pretty neat. When the water runs down your crack as you let one out... its like shitting in a crockpot.

Just for info, 20ga wire handles 1.5amps....thats 18w-22w depending on voltage...your voltmeter will NEVER draw that much current..

Nope it simply just 'splodes

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)

you should buy a AD-1. Not only will it test your amps it will also test volt meters as well.

Meade better upgrade that volt meter that hes using for the 16v bank.. bish might take out teh entire ES EM DEE headquarterz

:ninja:

When your at the top everyone is coming for you, friends, family, haters and even those who don't know you.. my advice.. KILL EM ALL

Man you have to buy some pure silver 8ga wire to hook up your volt meters. Those things are really dangerous if you dont wire them up properly. I had one mounted on my lower dash wired up with some 16ga wire and I had a voltage spike and the damn thing almost took my leg off when it blew.
