Re: Ground for amp?

I just pushed my carpet up in the back and sanded a small area down to pure metal and screwed it in. Then with the carper over it you cant tell its even there

Re: Ground for amp?

forgive me if i'm not too familiar with the verts, but I usually use the rear upper seat belt bolt. big solid piece of metal, just needs the paint sanded off for a good connection. cover everything with dielectric grease to stop moisture/rust and should be good to go
