Hey guys,

Just posting up some build pics of the Saturn since I don't think ive posted many of them unless they were involved in other things.

Ive always been a big fan of very stout electrical setups and have beefed up the Saturn pretty well I'd say //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif, it now has a pair of alternators (one 225 amp and the other, a 250 amp..both with custom mounting brackets), 4 runs of kolossus 1/0 gauge power and also 4 runs of the same for ground back to the front, an HC1400 upfront with 1.25"x.25" thick copper busbars, a pair of D3100's in the trunk connected with 1.25"x.25" thick copper busbars, 10+ 1/0 gauge fuse holders, and the 18" BTL (fully loaded) fed by a SoundStream XXX10000 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif...along with a bulk pack of dynamat extreme and 5 gallons of Spectrum Sludge (thr trunk lid is a rock now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif)

There's a pretty darn big list of accessories/other stuff that went into this, so I wont list it all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Anyways, here we go...
