TLEJ Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) So I've been seeing on some people's builds, that they have a little voltage meter (typically blue LED) under the head unit, or mounted wherever. What are they called? Like I'm guessing something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/0-100V-Digital-LCD-Panel-Meter-Voltage-3-Digits-Display-/110529682990?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item19bc151e2e#ht_4133wt_1001 wouldn't work considering it's DC.. EDIT... Whoa... I'm thinking car batteries are DC actually.. Nevermind Edited June 2, 2010 by TLEJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLEJ Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Ah that helps. Do you think this one ( http://cgi.ebay.com/0-100V-Digital-LCD-Panel-Meter-Voltage-3-Digits-Display-/110529682990?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item19bc151e2e#ht_4133wt_1001 ) would work the same though?

Yea but it comes with no wires or anything like that. I would go with stinger, they are like $25, google is your best friend. Plus they are VERY simple to install. Connect the pos/neg to source and connect the blue wire to a accessory. Most people connect it to the remote turn on from the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope its a volt meter. My buddy has one hooked to his amp to monitor what kind of power his amp is seeing, then has another hooked to his batt. It just displays a more ACCURATE reading then the factory volt meter as these are digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever as long as it get's the job done Well $30 is a decent price, i think. These are pretty easy to install just about anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
