knobs, switchs, gauges...ect....

what kind of things do you guys run in cars/trucks as far as keeping an eye on your systems (gauges), kind of gauges. switchs for doing diff. things, (lights, amp turn on)? Knobs such as bass knobs or epicenter knobs.

i have a digi volt gauge, analog volt gauge, amp temp gauge for subamp, few leds to light up the dash at night, changed my cluster lights out, everything inside my trucks blue. getting ready to re-wrap my interior, tweed for the doors, pillars, steering coloum, and some shag for the roof.

i gotta little bit of a drive to work, i like watching all the gauges and changing setting on the deck since every song is diff. with the bass an all. just wondering what kinda gadgets you guys run??

I have an A/F gauge, Oill Temp gauge, and volt gauge. I use a rocker switch for the remote to the amp(s). The only 'after market' light I have is an l.e.d. for my radar detector. Don't use remote gains, or anything.

Voltmeter, autometer pro comp, and tach autometer sport comp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

as looking at Dakota digital digital voltmeter the other day, but found stinger has a nice one also... so kinda torn.

my old truck I had 3 switches for my 6 6" KC daylighters. that was so nice at nighttime...

curious to what everyone had, like i said i have a decent ride to work and its a boring straight road, so besides the bass knockin, i tend to play and change everything, guess theres still a little kid in me, lol i have to play and touch with everything haha

No remotes from the amps, just a small digital volt meter, and four led toggle switches next to the shifter. 3 for the amps, 1 for the neons.

besides turing the amps on and off, what other reason do you guys run switches to the amps? dont want bass in some songs or what?

Some songs are better off without bass. And when you run into problems, or are tuning your system, its easier to just have the parts you want on rather than everything

thats true, i use to have one, for turing it off when i didnt want bass in certain songs. think i might run some switchs for that then, almost a safety switch if ya think about it.

keep these coming guys, need some more things to mess with in my truck.

If I really wanted a "safety" switch, split the wire coming out of the switches, connect the one back to the amp, and hook one into a relay in the main power wire going to the amps... Now THAT would be a safety switch... lol
