A clean piece of metal, preferably bolted or screwed in place. Some use something in the trunk, some use the seat belt bolt, just make sure it's clean.

Drill a hole on the rear deck lid inside the trunk, and sand the paint of, bolt on..

I took out my rear seat(bottom piece) when running the wires, and in the middle of floor in the back sanded a very little piece and screwed the ground wire to the floor.
Works MINT!

If you mount the amp to to the back of your back seats you can use the seat belt mounting bolt.

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

It's probably not your ground then... How did you test to see if it wasn't grounding? Touch your 12V+ with your ground wire real quick, if it doesn't spark, check your fuse. If it does spark and your amp still doesn't work, you don't have something hooked up right or you have a bad amp. I would first check your fuse and then go from there.
