wagonwes Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Hey guys, First post - loving all of the info on this site so far. I've been out of car audio for about 5 years, but have since re-ignited my passion for big bass after graduating college last summer with my Mechanical Engineering degree. Anyways, I have a specific location on my dash in mind for a voltage meter. I would love to get a SMD VM-1, but it is too large to keep the look I want. I have seen a lot of people running Stinger SVMB's, but they are pushing the upper limit I have for size. With that being said, I would run one but I hear that they are extraordinarily bright at night time. So... what other good options do I have that have a fairly small footprint (I.E. - smaller than Stingers)? Price is not a huge concern either.
gckless Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 There are a lot on eBay that are pretty small and like $5. They work fine. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

youngbass98 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 I have a 1.80$ on ( ordered it straight from china off of eBay) it refreshes more than twice a second almost too fast that it starts changing back and forth when I am going full tilt, but it is as accurate as my multi meter and it is visible during the day and not to bright at night 06 monte carlo 2 12 rockford p3s soundstream rubicon 2500 crescendo audio mezzo 6.5 ct sounds 125.4 execution audio and shca wiring 2 xs d3400 on stock alt
devestator_x Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 I bought a $5 one off ebay (didnt want to wait for China shipping, so I plurged for a US sold one) It's off by .2v compared to my multimeter, but it's .2 low, not high, so it's like having a little extra reserve built in.
philrab Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Can anyone recall/post what seller they got theirs from? So that others may locate and purchase? 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.
