crunkjuice1 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have this http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KNF-22D It has a digital display that in description on website says " The digital voltage display is illuminated by Blue LED's and requires a ground wire to be connected to the base mounting screw on the output side of the block " Here's pic of the base hole for that connection I had ran a line from their to the ground line of a amp but the display stayed on always. I have left it off ever since and now I am redoing wiring and I wiuld still want to try to use the display. Would running a line directly to battery negative but putting a toggle switch in that line turn it on and off? This is what I have. Sorry if this is simple enough I just don't want to goof anything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osamio Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yes, running a wire to the toggle switch, then from the toggle switch to any ground point on the car would work. OR if you want it to turn on and off automatically, use a normally-open relay and your amp's remote turn on wire to trigger it. 2009 Cobalt LT Pioneer Headunit 2x Pioneer 6 1/2 (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 1" tweeters (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 6x9 (stock amp 4x Pioneer 6 1/2 Pioneer GM-6400F Soundstream DTR 1700 R.I.P 2x Champion series PRO 12" subs 0 AWG Big 3, Stinger SP1700 battery To come: New or repaired DTR!!

skittlesRgood Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 i would do the relay option. less wires to run through the car and you wont have to remember to turn it on and off. on a side note, that sucks. lol. i had something just like that, probably still do, and it would turn off when it didnt sense power fluctuation for a couple min and turned itself back on when it did. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Are you SURE it stays on 100% of the time? 2009 Cobalt LT Pioneer Headunit 2x Pioneer 6 1/2 (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 1" tweeters (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 6x9 (stock amp 4x Pioneer 6 1/2 Pioneer GM-6400F Soundstream DTR 1700 R.I.P 2x Champion series PRO 12" subs 0 AWG Big 3, Stinger SP1700 battery To come: New or repaired DTR!!

crunkjuice1 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 overnight, I left the cover off the trunk so I could see through glass and see the display when I walked away from car then take a peek into it in morning and still lit up.
