Wow, pretty beefy mid range. Curious as to how you're integrating them.

Also, what makes that volt meter so expensive?

just a 2 speaker pod in the door, nothing special. the volt meter is a 360 degree full sweep meter. most of the ones you'll see that are like this only have a 90 degree sweep or 270 degree sweep plus it lights up a pretty blue.
