What is the most reasonable way to display your voltage in the cabin? Everytime I ask dakota digital is suggested and if I had the money to invest that is the way I would go. I just want some indication of the voltage at my amp and I don't want to spend a whole bunch to get it. It doesn't have to be deadly accurate. Any suggestions? Something like what is found on digital caps or distribution blocks that I can mount in my cabin. Thanks

The cheapest most accurate voltage display system is a 20$ DMM.

Rip off the case and mount it somewhere with a switch to the batteryies.

Thats what I did.

If you have around $80 to $90 in your buget then I like using the Phoenix Gold RMDBLK which is a volt meter diplay for remotely monitoring a few of the PG amps BUT can also be used to attach to any cap or amp if you use this link to see the mods

You can take a volt display off a digital cap and fabricate your own interesting display. Just have to find a cheap enough digital cap, I guess.
