Ammeters are wired in series.

you would fit it by taking off the negative battery terminal, putting hte positive of the gauge to the now disconnected neg batt cable, then the negative of the gauge goes to the battery
The question was answered in the first post.

Technically they are a voltmeter, however, the readings are in amps so it is also an ammeter
Volts and amps are extremely different things, an ammeter is most definitely NOT 'technically a voltmeter'.
See
this page (first one in google) for further information.
I'm still yet to figure out
why someone would want to connect an ammeter, let alone in the cabin. The only reason you'd need an ammeter is if you were monitoring an EXTREMELY large stereo system or something like that... using an ammeter to monitor most everyday cars is about the equivalent of installing the entire range of autometer products on the bonnet of a stock standard pintara
Serious advice? Unless you've got a REALLY good reason for using it, don't. The more useless shit you've got hooked up to your car the more that can go wrong :/
