Do i need a voltage regulated 12volts run to my auto meter sport comp wideband? was just curious wether the higher 14.9ish volts from the alt. would lead the guage to misread or damage guage. they dont say much in installation just to connect to 12v power source with 3A fuse. So, can i just hook up to anything on and off with ignition W/ inline fuse or do i need to hook up to something with a regulator to see more consistant 12v?

I would think that the manufacturer would know that 12V supply power is not constant 12v. I would say that it is fine to hook it to any keyed source.

ya,me too... I did have a gauge that the digital display quit working and had to replace it. It was replaced under warranty but just wanted to know what you guys think before i plug in the new one. I tried calling autometer (they are great to work with BTW) but they are closed sat n sundays so i turn to here. Thanks for the input!
