    Amendolaro ,

    i will try to help you : i will not get in color of the wires to avoid confusing more .

    Basically you can power without problem many devices from one control switch AS LONG you
    splice together the Positive of all devices . The negative , also called Ground can be taken anywhere
    on the chassis.
    It is very basic.
    Along the positive wire you should place a fuse from 2 to 5 amps , just as an added safety .

    Questions welcome.

    Thank you. Now as of right now I have the power for Li wired into my fuse box already. Do you happen to know the color of the wire I should use from the LI switch for power ?

    I wouldn't cut any wires, just touch one of the tester leads to the other terminal of the switch (away from the battery/fuse) and the other to a ground wire, and flip the switch back and forth. You should see the voltage change from approximately 12V to 0.

    The $2 tester wont show voltage , only open\shut off the bulb .

    Testing : place the alligator clamp on the body and touch the pointy tip to each suspected wire ,
    when you get the right one : it will light up...Bingo.

    Last question. . I think lol can I ground both the Li system and alp system to the same ground? Thinking about keeping the Li on the back instead of nothing

    Yes.

    Side note : you can also use the ground as a cut-off.

    You can use a switch for the ground to shut-off any device , which i prefer because there is no danger
    to trigger a short-circuit (like if the wire touch the body by mistake if you use the positive as cut-off ).

    i had to dig around and pull some wires out but you can see the 3 colour wires for the LI switch ..i spliced my ALP red wire into the gray wire and my negitive from my ALP goes straight to earth /chasis/ground

    the red wire on the LI switch is a constant power supply meaning if you splice into the red the ALP will not switch off when you flick ON and OFF the LI switch ....doing this this on the gray wire =1 flick of a switch controls both jammer cpus
