    Good ground point for amp?

    Know of one? I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out whats going on with my amp, seems almost like I cant get a good ground. Went to alot of trouble to make sure I didn't have to put any holes in the car, now I guess im paying for it.

    I just sanded the paint away and used an existing bolt.

    i used the spot where that little box hangs upside down from inside the trunk. There were four bolts there already, and it made for a pretty solid ground.

    Depending how much interior you have in your hatch the shock towers work. i used them a while but ended up just drilling two holes for mine

    Make sure you grind it down to where you see no paint on the body so you get a nice clean connection.

    Also use di-electrical grease to prevent that spot from rusting and also gives a better connection.

    That's a good idea. I never tried that on my cavalier. I used the middle seat belt bolt to ground mine. That sucked not having a power sander
