My prior post assumes you are using an "externally shunted" meter. An "internally shunted" meter would be wired in series from the battery + to the main buss. I don't know which is preferred or which is more reliable but I think I would prefer the external shunt with the shunt mounted on the firewall in case it ever "smokes". The shunt on the firewall probably gives you the shortest wire run with the heavy gauge wire from the battery to the main buss also. That too assumes your battery is on the firewall. If your system is different, your results will vary. :-) Larry Flesner
