Decaf Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 hey guys a couple tips on these things1) check you voltage with an accurate DMM (a fluke for example) and then set the voltage meter to what the DMM says. there is a small knob under the cover to adjust the gauge 2) hook it straight to your battery with the remote (turn-on) hooked to your ignition or radio don't hook it up off of a fuse box or anything because you will read what the volts in the fuse box are instead of the volts of the actual battery 3) put some tint on the inside of the screen, it will make a night and day difference in getting rid of the glare and will make it look alot nicer i've had mine almost 2 years now and i love it. no you hook up the battery constant to the amps + terminal to get the most accurate reading of voltage drop what % tint should u put on it? i kno my pioneer deck has alot of glare durring the day too i use electrical tape to cover the stinger, cause i dont like that company very much and ill see how bad the glare is since mine is so high on my dash too the tint may help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacomabanga1986 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 i put 5%. zero glare and it tones how bright it is so your car doesn't look like you have ricey neons under the dash. lol, i got blue led strips under my dash so if i drop shit at night when im driveing i can find it quickly here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganberry Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 this is my second one, i put the + into the + of the amp cause i wanna know what its at RIGHT at the amp My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewer_brewer Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 thats cool, but most of us do i would much rather know what volts my battery are dropping to then what the amps input is dropping to battery voltage will be much more consistent and the voltage gauge won't dance around like it does hooked up to the + terminal edit: post below me read that again REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 chit for $18 brewer why not have one on the bat and one on the amp then compare, id bet the one hooked up the amp would fluctuate more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewer_brewer Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 thats cool, but most of us doso if YOU had a front and rear bat (i dont know ur setup, feel like ive seen the thread but dont remember) which bat do u want to measure then? im going to guess ur gonna say the rear batt since its closest to the amp, but what do i know, lulz i would measure the rear batts. not the amp input.

brewer_brewer Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 putting the volt gauge in the + terminal of the amp is like having a volt gauge on a capacitor. it will dance around like a light show i'm not trying to measure the output power of my amp with a 20 dollar stinger volt gauge, i want to know voltage of the batts if you guys want to hook up at the amps + terminal then thats your install but i prefer a more consistent voltage from my battery REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
