Having an in dash dyno worth the hassle?

I'm hunting for a in-dash voltmeter and keep coming back to the basshead garage dyno

I think it'd be kinda cool with all the features on top of the voltage reading. Definitely would be able to use it to convince people asking me for help picking amps that they'd rarely see the rms power rating out of an amp instead of the same circular argument that they get rms constantly

Y'all think it's worth the hassle of running extra wires to the rear or just a novelty that a person would get bored of quickly?

It's just like when people install a horsepower estimator in their car. It's cool for a minute, but worthless in the end.

People without personal experience are hard to impress.

I had people scoff at 150db until they heard my stereo and I told them i haven't hit 150 yet.

Get spllabs mini meter and stick it to your windshield when you demo. Listeners will spread real world numbers.

I ain't trying to impress nobody. I am tired of newbs telling me rms is costant output

Honestly I'm gonna do it just because it'd be cool to see just how little power subs actually use with music

And I don't have any skar gear...that's what I keep being told I should "upgrade" to since I'm run cdt speakers and stereo integrity sql-15 subs. I can't impress nobody

They get a degree from YouTube University and think they are now a professional.

I installed one in the trunk, connected to the distribution block. I use it to troubleshoot the voltage when necessary- very rarely. Just a novelty. If you want one in your cabin, consider under dash placement.
