just for basic car audio stuff? I got a $350 fluke when I was installing and most of the time, my $7 Cen-tec from harbor freight was just as accurate. The fluke just has a few extra settings, like I can hook it up to a battery and set the min/max function...play some music for a while, then go back and see what the lowest voltage was.

Just go to your local auto parts store or even Home Depot or Lowe's has 'em...shouldn't have to pay more than $20 for a decent one.

Spend the money and get a true RMS fluke meter... The more basic models will run a little over $100 and are well worth every penny... Greenlee also makes a nice DMM...

I agree, True RMS is worth the extra money. I ended up with a Fluke 179 which is generally more DMM than the Car Audio hobbiest will use, but if your going to be trouble shooting or using it to enhance your system, I would spring for the min/max and auto ranging features they make life easier
