Default Amp Current Gauge

Had a credit at Thunder so figured I'd burn it. Been wanting one of these things for a while, I just think they're cool. Especially since I got alot invested in my audio. It uses a transducer to measure the current around the power wire. It even fits around my 1/0ga wire! There's 3 settings on it, fast, slow and hold. Fast is real-time, slow has a decent bit slower refresh rate than the fast, and the hold will hold a peak current draw for 3 seconds then go back to real-time refreshing. I need to swap my transmission temperature gauge and the ammeter, I think it'd look better. So far the best current draw I've measured is 53amps.

Thanks. I like it, but it's a little brighter than the rest of my blue gauges. Oh well, here's some night time pics. I swapped the trans temp and ammeter. Looks better IMO

They do look nice. It's like being in an airplane at night.
