New Doube 1/0 ground
Ya i know this probably isnt going to do much but in my car ive already done it over the top so why stop now?
51ft of Rockford Fosgate 1/0
Car all donked out ready to run wire
The 2 newly added runs of 1/0 coming out of the wheel well, acomponied by the 2 current 2/0 grounds to the frame (all fosgate of course)

lol fosgate doesnt make 2/0 anymore
maybe... im not quite sure if i did or not to be honest with you but i've always wanted to do it because i was worried about a shady ground. Now i know its as good as it can get

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)

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
