Re: difference between ammeter and voltmeter.

[JimJablonski <groovinjim@xxxxxxx>]

No not the same.  An ammeter is basically a resistor wired in series to measure current.  A volt meter measures voltage (pressure) between two points in a circuit but using a parallel circuit (the ground).

Obviously its amps versus volts, but what I mean is installation. I was under the assumption that I could just stick my aftermarket volt meter into the wiring where the ammeter used to be,( Big Gauge red on one side, big gauge black on the other) but I am getting conflicting opinions. The instructions withe SW gauges ( poor instructions at best) says negative post of voltmeter is supposed to be grounded  ( ???). I thought in the stock harness I could just attach  the red to positive gauge post and black to negative post of gauge.
