Hi all,

I had a guy upgrade my sound system and add an amp. I noticed he hooked up the amp direct to the main battery (with breaker). I would like to hook the amp up to my dual battery switch but not sure what terminal to connect it to? Common? 1 (new battery) or 2 (original battery). I assume i can leave the negative terminal on the battery? my battery switch is a blue seas. thanks
 
Paul,
Do not confuse a dual circuit switch (4 posts) with a conventional dual battery switch (3 posts).
With a conventional dual battery switch, which you likely have, simply wire the amplifier breaker to the switch 'common' post.
Yes, the ground remains on the battery.
 
Thanks right stuff and David. Much appreciated!
