Has anyone ever installed an amp meter/gauge (of sort) to measure the amp draw from your battery to your amplifier? If so, where can I get one, if theyre even made? I wanted a gadget to make sure my amp was getting all the juice it needed, plus i wanted a little more spice in my setup..

I would definately go with a digital voltmeter. Accuracy is whats its all about.
One point I'd like to make though. If you want to know how much voltage your amp is actually getting, don't just tap the voltmeter in anywhere; put the leads as close to the amplifier as possible.
Another thing to do is install 2 volt meters, one in front and one in back. This will allow you to see how much loss you're getting from the front to the back. This is especially nice when you run multiple batteries.
