Lakeshow94 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hey Guys, Just threw in a ct sounds bass knob on my system. They come with the led volt meter (digital). I just ran a run of positive and negative 14g from the knob back to the amp. The bass knob will read 13.5 while my cheap digital volt meter (cigarette lighter amazon special) reads around 14.0. To test this I also grabbed my dmm and when the cig lighter meter reads 14, so do the amps with the dmm. It does seem to stay consistent with a .4-.5 v drop on for the ct meter. My question is why does this have a voltage drop, because from using the dmm I know my amps are seeing good voltage. 1999 Lexus GS 300 Pioneer DEH-80PRS Singer 240 Amp (Will be installed later) Northstar Group 31 & 24 Sundown SCV-4000 Rockford T400-4 2 12" CT Sound Meso CT Sounds 6.5 Meso Components CT Sounds Tropo 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magillaru Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I have the mt audio gain knob and volt meter combo (identical to the ct sounds) and it reads .4 lower than what it actually is. I just know that it's always .4 higher than what it's showing on the display. Singer Alternators Team Asshole #anothershittysingerbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a smd vm1 arriving on tuesday so I'll run that as my primary volt meter then. 1999 Lexus GS 300 Pioneer DEH-80PRS Singer 240 Amp (Will be installed later) Northstar Group 31 & 24 Sundown SCV-4000 Rockford T400-4 2 12" CT Sound Meso CT Sounds 6.5 Meso Components CT Sounds Tropo 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
