suss out where the factory earths are on the car and upgrade them. Otherwise the minimal thing you need to do is upgrade the battery earth i.e. run a large gauge cable from the -ive terminal to the chassis. From there it is up to you how serious you want to get....

I have a 0 gauge running into 5x 4gauge in my bay.

Car is a 2000 magna sports.

I am also curious as to how people have connected the factoring wiring (both power and ground) to new batt terminals

You need to get a thingy, can't remember what its called lol, but it bolts to your battery terminal and then has 4-5 slots to mount other cables, Jaycar sell them for under $50 last time i checked.
Something along the lines of this, except you'll need 4/5 x 4ga holes. Maybe contact Barry, he has a grounding kit you can buy.
