Talking 0 gauge install (w/ pics)

Over thanksgiving break I finally got around to doing the 0 gauge install along with some other minor things. This is sorta the beginning of the sound system redo of my car. I forgot to take some pics of the dist blocks and amps and such. Tell me what you think of it. I know it looks pretty shotty under the hood. I plan on fixing that soon.

Nice work, but you should really fuse closer to the battery. I'm sure you can image what would happen if by chance you get hit on the front passenger side of the car.

looks good, but why did you run the ground wire from the battery? You'll probably get better performance using the shortest grounding wire as possible and grounding it to the bare chassis

No, I didn't run the RCA's with my power. My RCA's run down the passenger side of the car, not the center.

I plan on moving the fuse. The engine bay wiring needs to be rerouted so it looks better too.

I haven't noticed any difference in amp performance between when I had it grounded to the frame about 2 feet from my amp to now. I assume thats becuase there is so little resistance in 0 gauge. Also, there is more resistance through the frame than through a wire and there is also stuff attached to the frame that you don't necessarily want power traveling through.
