    I'm building my first emando and I have a few questions.

    First do I need to shield the routed areas with metal tape? And can I use the aluminum hvac duct tape I already have or do I have to buy the expensive stewmac copper tape?
    Second, does anyone have a basic wiring diagram for a two pot set up?

    Thanks!

    The StewMac web site has wiring diagrams under "Free Information" then "electronics". See this diagram as a sample:

    I don't know about your aluminum tape - you could check it and see if it is conductive.

    The answers to all questions about shielding and grounding are here. This site also has loads of useful additional info on wiring and setup, including a lot of explanations of common pitfalls and the shortcomings of most factory wiring configurations.
