Alternator wire goes to the power distribution box, to the same terminal the positive battery cable goes to.

I am not sure which two wires you are referring to in the first pic.

No Batt negative leads go to the PDB.

Off my batt + terminal, one wire goes to the starter, one goes to the PDB (first stud).

Before the fuse (first stud) goes the batt 12v+ supply wire, other stud is alt amp out, thats it one wire per stud.
