Of course, no one has thought to ask the most obvious question...

Why the hell have you got such a stupidly powerful stereo in your truck...?!

And why do you need a real time output of how many amps it's drawing?

like anything else i have done in my life so far, i like the challenge of learning and i want to make sure it works without issues.
i would like to get the most accurate readings to make sure things are working as should and/or together they way it should.
it may help me figure out new ideas to improve on the design of the power system and/or wiring the system to be more efficient.

i thank everyone for the comments and ideas. it may not be something i continue with but i now have starting points to carry on with, if i do proceed.

Hell, i'm just having fun with it all. it could end up being my retirement job. LOL
(the guy sitting in the garage with components all around him, soldering iron smoking and fixing things to stay busy.)
just hope i don't have the "coke bottle" glasses by that age.
