Its made by Lightining Audio
model number is LA-VT1


the M is for mode

it does:

battery voltage
output voltage of your amp
temp in degrees
temp in celcius

the S is for setting
you can set the voltage to warn you when it drops below a certain voltage...it can turn off the amp or just display "warning low voltage" across the screen

you can also set the temerature to activate a fan at whatever temerature you want. it has outputs on the back that you can hook to relays.

it comes with the wires for output voltage (you just put them in the output of you amp you want to monitor) and the temp sensor.

I have a question for those of you who have a voltmeter:

Where does yoru voltage typically sit while driving? Does it ever go above 14.4v? Does it ever dip below 12v?


Thanks!

When I had mine, it showed voltage around 14-15v in cold weather during initial start. It seems to stay around 14v during the winter. In the summer, it usually stays around 12v and I've seen it go a lil lower.

tbaleno is an unknown quantity at this point
I drive a hybrid so it might be different from other civics. My voltmeter usualy stays around 13.7. If I crank up the radio and play something with heavy bass I can drop it bellow 12V. I'm running 3 amps totaling about 2500W RMS. I also have a stock alternator, and only one large battery. I also haven't upgraded my grounds and power yet.
