    NOT HAPPY JANE!

    Great "all in one unit BUT some where on the case it should state 12v!! Kickass almost had a return on there hands, with a fried unit returned simply because IT IS NOT CLEAR its 12 v only, considering a lot of conversions are 24 volt vehicles! Easy fix include it on the specs printed on the side of the box!!
