Just got both of these and thought I would let everyone know what I think of them.
First the meter-very nice, compact little meter. I took mine apart right away so I could flush mount it into the console, so I did get a look inside, though don't know enough to make any judgments as far as build quality. Nothing was hanging loose and it works fine so I guess that is a good sign. It is an LED meter so not readable in direct sunlight, but with a normal under-dash mount I doubt that would be a problem. It IS a pretty small box compared to regular analog gauge meters, so if space is a concern it is a good choice. Advertised to take 450 watts which is more than I have to put through it, though I will be try it out with the famous (or infamous) WalshU custom Xforce just to see the meter do 3 digits while I'm waiting on the Mag 357!
Speaker- I got this meter after reading the recommendations in the other thread here, and can say it is a good choice. Very heavy built, and quite large compared to the "radio shack special" that it replaced. I have the grey version, and fit and finish are better than I expected for such a mundane accessory. If space is at a premium, you may want to measure your spot because this is not a dainty speaker! Sounds very good though, and LOUD without distorting.
