On another note, I bet it sounds sick! lol.

your wire looks small.....lol j/k. Looks nice.

I can't run wire outside of the car here (don't think it's safe), are you not worried about it gettting cut or the holders letting loose and it catching on somthing on the ground? I'm guessing you don't have to worry about rusting, but you might want to add some paint to the screws and outside mounting points so they are locked in and can limit the oxidation. (with the weather here, if I mounted my grounds like you, I'd probably not have any left in a year.)

More pics of your "little" parts of your install? (as in besides speakers, amps, headunit)

nah. ima keep watch on it but i think its fine. i don't do too much driving anyway and its never at the lowest point in the vehicle (just hit 24k and its an 06)

i got pretty much everything in the gallery if you wanna check it out. most of the pics are of second skin. a few wiring but not as many as id like

Seems like an appropriate place to ask this..

What gauge wire does GM run stock from our alts to our batteries, and would I need to upgrade mine when I get my system in?

Amps:
Sundown SAZ-1000D
Infinity Reference 7540a
