Dave - To your questions: 1 – As the others suggest below, for the #2 terminal wire you can use as small gage wire as is mechanically possible. (#2 is the voltage sense terminal for the internal regulator. It carries only a miniscule amount of current - something on the order of 1 milliampere.) 2 – Use either a warning light OR a diode, but not both! No need to worry about draining the battery when shut down thru the warning light – the system is specifically designed to work with the light. However if you are concerned about the warning light burning out and disabling the alternator while running, you can wire a 15 to 30 ohm, 2 watt (minimum) resistor in parallel with the lamp. 3 – You sure you’ve got 4/0 primary wire there and not AWG #4? 4/0 is HUGE - like ½” iron pipe. Anyway, with cable that heavy you certain won’t need to add a solenoid to reduce the cable length – the extra couple feet of cable is inconsequential! Hope this helps...
