I am bashing my head with trying to find a nice ground in the trunk of a 2001 MC. My amps are in the back roughly. I haven't tried the seat belt bolt for the rear seats, but I'd like to try something else. Perhaps I need to sand off some paint in other areas to get this quality of ground, but I am not having luck. If ANY one has an a/m stereo please tell me where you put your ground. Thanks

 

I put my ground wire on the nut and bolt just on the rightside of the back speaker you will see to bolts there you may have to scrape some paint off but it is not visible.

 

I looked around and didn't really find anything, I did find something else. This might be a really stupid question I thought about it for a bit I am now wondering if I could use a strut mount bolt (just take only ONE)? There shouldn't be any danger using just one of the top mounting bolts. The super high tention one is inside the strut, so it I can't see it being a problem. I see two of them. This might be the bolts that you are talking about but I just wanna double check. thanks.

 

my system is grounded in the spare tire well...there is good metal to use there

 

WOW I AM SO STUPID!!!! K I am hoping that no one will read this but it is a mistake and hopefully others will NOT learn from this cause its really dumb, but just incase if you put your power wire to a NEG terminal it won't work. Try putting your power wire to the POS terminal...I never had a problem with my ground, but thanks for the help with the locations suggestions.

 

lol its alright we all mess up...just thank god that it wasnt a huge problem and that it didnt cost u much money lol

 

Would a 07 be the same. I always thought the spare tire metal was weak. I think I am putting a 0AWG whole in thetrunk and go the sub frame with a Street wire Kit for my ground.

 

I have 0\1 gauge, Im grounding to a back seat bolt with the paint around it scraped off... should be fine. runnin JBL\crown equip. getting the wire through the firewall is the hardest. Im still workin on that. Havent had time in a while.

 

i have 0 gauge wire and the grounding for me works well

 

Where did everyone run ther power wire? I looked (not hard) and might have to drill to get it in the passenger area. I want a straight run down the passengers side right into the rear. The shorter the better.
