Good topic. I know it comes up every year. But Ive been confused, and needing to wire mine up for years. LOL. I think Im starting to understand...

But just to clarify:

Coming off of the + battery terminal, two wires. One goes to the switch, and the other goes to the alternator.

Coming off of the opposite post on the switch, two wires. One goes to the starter, and the other goes to the fuse box.

Correct?

Can't you just run the other switch side to the fuse box where the starter wire goes? Instead of to starter then another wire from starter to fuse bo

Battery to alt
Battery to 1 side of cutoff

Starter to other side of cutoff
Fuse/switchpanel to same side as starter on cutoff

Not that hard folks

Just don't run a alternator and it makes it really easy.

i just ran a larger wire size from the cut off to the front of the car and tee it off with a little smaller gauge one to the fuse box (my case switch panel) and other directly to the starter. not that hard ..
