sand down the paint.

drill a hole

use a 3/8" bolt and nut with washer.

bolt it to the sheetmetal.

thanks dude. i'll do that when i get home. sorry for asking a embarrassing question but the amp is causing the speaker to go in and out even without music to it and i remember the last time my systme did that was when i had 2 amps and i had a ground loop so i think this is caused by a weak ground... i'll try it.. thanks again....

I have mine grounded on the left side of the trunk behind the carpet.

By the hinge there should be a part of the body going between the fender well and the top part of the rear quarter panel. There is a hole already in there large enough for a
3/8" bolt.

I just used a nut, bolt, and 2 washers to ground my amps.

If my camera battery wasn't dead i'd go shoot a picture of my grounding setup.

In my old 91 cav, I used the pinch weld that holds together the wheel well in the trunk. Just sand the paint away and use a bolt.
