Thanks guys. It sounds both ways would work. heard something about if the ground wasn't as long as the positive wire it could cause some effect because the loop would be different. Did most of you quys use the vans wiring kit or do it yourself. Just trying to figure all the electrical out and what all I need. Sure would be easier if I was an airplane mechanic and not just a pilot. Feel like I'm wondering around in the fog.
Vans says these things are from first page to last a flying bird but I'm starting to see a different picture. I am glad all you guys are here. Thanks
Heres a link to the manual

Did most everyone run two 2awg wire from the battery up to front both for pos and neg. or did most just run the positive and ground battery at battery tray. Just curious if I need to run two big wires up to front.
It doesn't have to be that big of a wire, but indeed run it up to your ground bus and join it with a thru firewall ground. Using the airframe as a ground these days, esp in a more complex plane, is just lazy. Do it right!!

So, other than Vans, where do you order your wire and electrical supplies, i.e. if you wanted mil spec grade wire. I checked Aircraft Spruce and Wicks, but are there othe suppliers that offer better pricing.
