Tachometer Mod?

[Gregs89AccordLxi]

:help: I got this small tachometer at the junkyard the other day, i tested it and it works and i was wondering if i can somehow have the tach move to the beat of my music kinda like those strobes that flash with the music, does this sound like it can be done? any info would be greatly appreciated :bow:

OOOOOOOOMG...

im not sure about that mod, but i know you can get an APC windsheild banner at NAPA or AUTOZONE.. :D

btw sounds difficult, but WHY?

[crwa]

No you can't. Plus why, hook the tach up so it functions like it should, the lights and things that beat to the music are so stupid.

lol theres no way i would put a big a$$ apc banner on :rolleyes:, and the reason i wanted to do this is i made a gauge cluster with a voltmeter and temp to fit in the console where the cassette holder is, theres a extra hole and its right under my cd deck and thought it would be cool, so u saying theres no way, i've seen home stereos that have them just dont know how to wire it up

heres a tach on this stereo, so i know it can be done just dont know if its worth the trouble

In that stereo that is a volt meter not a real Tach... BIG difference there... you can PIC up a cheap volt meter at Radio shack and install that if you like in the gauge cluster.. or why not buy an AIR/FUEL ratio gauge and put that in the extra space.. AT least that is functional and will tell you something about your cars performance....

yeah it can be done but is not worth the time

well that tach mod has about the same "cool" factor.. which is why i suggested it! :D lol

but i like the a/f suggestion. thast a good idea!

there are a million gauges you can get to fill that hole. i'd like an air fuel ratio gauge.

its not a tach its a volt meter. why not fill that space with a useful gauge??

[Gregs89AccordLxi]

hey thx for the info guys (didnt know it was called a volume meter), i want a gauge thats not already in my dash, im thinking maybe that a/f gauge :D

how many volts come from the coil to the tach signal line??? if its 12V or so... cant you just wire it to the POS speaker line on a amp??

every time the sub hits, it will shoot the tach around??

yea i think its 12v, good idea, i wonder if it would work, time to experiment
