I have a 2 bank setup with a VSR and I'm trying to determine where I should hook my runs to the amplifiers. Are there positive and negative distribution block. If I hook straight to the battery I loose the ability to isolate. To be honest I can't remember if having the VSR set to off isolated the old head unit.

I'd go check but I got the batteries and the head unit out of it for the upgrade Any ideas?

With a basic dual battery switch (non-relay set-up) everything should access power at the switch common/output post. However, with an ACR/VSR it's normally a very different scheme. And there are two correct approaches using an ACR/VSR depending on whether or not you are using the dual 'circuit' battery switch (which is very different from a standard dual battery switch).

I'm using a BEP VSR 125 AMP Dual Sense / Part # 710-125A-DS

Wired like on the right side.
