An ammeter won't be much good if you're drawing a lot of current through a stereo, my experience of them is they just swing about and hit the sides with every bass beat. Last about 5 minutes going from end to end four times in every bar :) | |

Hahahaha, mate, you might as well be speaking to me in Chinese. I've got no idea about electrics. I took it to an auto-electrician and had them put it in. :) | |

i'd sya ammeter, you can see how much juice is left in the battery then, especially when you got the beats on, becuase the sub will take loads | |
