That's really nice .. I was thinking about making my own but using (2) 3 1/8” gauges and (3) 2 1/16” gauges like the $400 one .. just would have to do without a volt gauge or put it somewhere else .. or see if I could find a digital one, I'm sure with all the Audio stuff out there I could find one.

Maybe like this



or this
