Quick question about the vm-1 (Not price related!)


Recommended Posts

I just sold my old monitor and now I have $100 sitting here. I got pointed to a video on youtube with the vm-1 against some other meter (the one I have, I won't mention brand names) and now I can see why it's worth $80. I really had no idea before and I apologize if that thread came off as trying to start shit, bash SMD.

Like I said I wasn't bashing SMD or his products (I own a couple already), I'm thinking of ordering a meter with this $100.

1) Where's the best place to order? Any deals atm?

2) What are the hook up options for this item? Is there a pos/neg/remote wire that needs to be wired in with the amp or where ever you choose to monitor?

Thanks

Best place is here:

wccaraudio.com

P.S. Good up on taking a different route with this thread.

Yeah I re read what I wrote...kinda cringing. Came off as a total ass hat. Oh well, I wasn't trying to be a mega asshole but I somehow managed it soo...yeah. I should have just asked why is it worth the $80 rather then comparing to something manufactured in china. I think I'll place my order tonight or tomorrow...

Also at night why the hell is my meter so blinding?

edit: it looks like droppinhz is the cheapest coming in @ $74.99 + free shipping.

It's really about the best prices your going to find.

Keep in mind that this unit was designed and built from scratch, not ordered of some alibaba souring site. Small production runs are expensive to do. Trust me, if this unit was 5 bucks to make, Steve would reflect that in the price. No one is getting rich off these things. It's designed and built by people who love audio. It's a lifestyle not a hobby for most of us. I'll happily pay asking price so they can use what little profit they do make to go build other cool shit.

I've kicked it on Steves couch, that fucker is lumpy, but it ain't because it's stuffed with hundos

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

you can find them used.....

but, it wont be a steal........

If its not for you, its not for you... :shrug:

I'm going to order one from droppinhertzcaraudio.

What does it come with? I just want the wiring and not the cigarette plug. I have all the wiring for a meter from from my amp in the back. Does it just come with a remote/pos/neg wire running from the vm1?
