Symmetry9898 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Ok, so i just bought an AEM voltage meter because there is a really good spot for a gague style meter in my truck and i wanted to utilize this spot for this purpose badly. Now, there is a red and black wire on this unit that is used to complete the 12v circuit but there is no off and on wire like the stinger meter has. Im really wanting to put the power lead at the positive post on my subwoofer amp but then i would have to run a toggle switch and im not really wanting to do that. I want the gague to come on when the key is turned. My question is, can i use a 12 volt relay to do this? Im sure this sounds noobish but i just wanted to know before i spent 11 bucks on this relay. thanks in advance for any comments or input.

hdorre Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 yep, steve uses 12 volt relays for all his amps. I dont see how itll be different for your application. As long as your gauge has enough power from the relay, youre golden On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symmetry9898 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I know a guy that has a twin turbo trailblazer SS and he did this with his boost gague and i thought it looked sick. I have also seen it on other SS's with differnt gagues in this spot. I pulled a copy cat but it looks cool and fits my need. Thanks for the comments guys.
