detailed stereo installation?

Here are a few I found real quick:
This one could accept the proper ring terminals and is very similar to OE. You'd just have to buy bigger ring terminals.

A 3-way terminal

Wing-nut terminals (might have clearance issues, not positive)

this looked good to me:

save at least 1' of wire, now for about 10 more ill have to measure but i think 10' will be good!
this isnt highly flexable, but looks good, what do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ht_4158wt_1165

4 gauge is pretty much common now. I have 4 gauge on my Alphasonik 300watt amp. Since I plan on upgrading the amp and subs in the future, I dont have to go back to the stereo shop to reinstall the new wiring if I went with the original 8 ga wiring. I just switch out the amp and subs. Simple as that.
Personally I dont know what car you have specifically, but my 02 Neon has 2 different install kits. One which is iso-mounted (meaning the radio mounts behind the opening). and the normal kit where the radio sits normally.

When you are upgrading the grounds, you are basically wanting to upgrade them to handle the output. Is 1/0 overkill for what you have? Sure, but you could upgrade things even more and not worry about it. Some people use 8 gauge, as it was mentioned above. I think unless you are going with something super extreme, 4 gauge would work fine.

0 gauge wiring is recommended for an amp/group of amps that run into the 2000+watt range not to mention a new higher output alternator or multiple high output alternators since most car's stock alternator arent built to handle that much of a power drain from the amp(s) Oh and be sure to have a 1-2 farad capacitor for every 1000watts of power (amp). I personally use a 2 farad cap per 1000.

I think i am just going to go with 1/0
is there any negitives for this?
The grounds to the body and engine look very easy.
BUT the alternator looks extremely difficult.... i can barely see the B+ nut let alone how to get to it, and where to run the wire!
also i want to upgrade the factory wire to the power distribution center with matching 4awg to look cool, plus then i will have a neat and nice looking battery terminal and good grounds
