Default Help fast...Last thing is grounding amp

I have everything wired, and need to find a ground near the back of the car. I mounted the amp on the back wall of the trunk, and am looking for a ground within 2-3 feet.

Well, I never found a good ground that close, but it could exist. I ended up running a 4ga cable to a seat stud.

I used one of the muffler bolt clamps for the ground, but I'm probbly gonna redo the setup to using one of the seat bolt posts.

I am thinking about a seatbelt bolt, or run the wire down to the seat bolt.

I am finishing the whole job up tonight "hopefully"

Check out removing the righthand taillight...you may find a braided antennae grounding wire that you can use.
