[QUOTE="Binder, post: 1115939, member: 16063"] One thing to remember when doing this stuff Nuzzy is that the battery is not the main power source. The battery is only there to start the engine or aid power when the alt can't keep up (winching). Your alt is the main power source. Your objective is to keep all of the circuits (wires) as short as possible to avoid voltage drops. Layout and size of the wires will depend on where each component is physically mounted. The spot you connect your one wire alt will be where it gets it's voltage reference from. This is one of the reasons one wire alts suck. You will need to run the alt wire to that distribution lug and it may be far from the alt. Probably not ideal but it's a one wire and you have to try and make it work.:puke: [/QUOTE]
