No it does not stand for very ugly meter
the first guage measures the temperature of the head unit, which gets very hot when playing DVDs
the next two guages measure the left and right output of the head unit
and the fourth measures the voltage draw of the head unit.
none of this is really necessary but the temp is good to know. Imainly use it as an infill for the blank since it only cost 99 cents on Ebay the only downside was the $12 postage from China Still can't beat a 13 buck infill that looks this good and has 4 different colour displays red green blue and white light
hmmm

It will also look much better when I get my other amp back and it fills thar huge void on the right. Ive also made up a cover plate that fits betbeen the two amps and hides the wiring so that it looks like one huge amp that spreads right across the car

and an overall view of the interior
the GPS/rearview mirror is mounted in the visor as a vanity mirror
7" screen mounted between the seat for rear seat passengers (I intend to sink it into the centre console and just flip it up for passengers in the back or leave it down to view in the front )
and a crappy shot with the dash lights on
when I get my other amp back and it's finished I'll take some better pics
