Leo1103 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Red is power, black is ground, white is turn on. I have my power and ground coming directly off of my rear batteries and the turn on hooked into my remote turn on Quote 2002 Honda CR-VAlpine 9887My BuildRebuilding...

alaskanzx5 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Imo to the biggest amp or to rear batts. Remote turn ons for hu's should only have a max of 2 accessories hooked to hit and that can even push it. You can use a relay with the remote turn on for a much better option.

Wood Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Don't you have to calibrate it? I don't own one, but I think I remember seeing you have to?

meade916 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Don't you have to calibrate it? I don't own one, but I think I remember seeing you have to? (don't quote me) that's only for the cheap VM's. Your voltage is your voltage, you don't tell it what it is, it is supposed to already know (and tell you). Any Volt meter with a screw on the back is garbage. Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!
