yes yes yes I know you're an arrogant prat with a big head. You have no idea what I even do for work.

Done this for over 10 years and never had a problem. Use a nyloc nut and a load washer.

Well, congrats...one of us is a professional car stereo installer with over 30 years as a pro...and then, there is you.

Kids, do as I say, it is safer. Do not ground anything to the shock towers, please.

Do NOT do this!

I fire guys for that bullshit, make your own ground point or use a proper factory ground point.

I used the one that's under the rear seat. I think the electric window motor grounds there...

use one of the shock mount nuts in the rear.

If you have the front mount battery, you will not have the noise issues us rear battery guys have.

I only ever got a slight noise when the battery was low.

Scrape the paint clean on a spot on the floor, shoot a short screw through a ring terminal. No special anything needed here, except to make sure that you get all the paint off, as paint does not conduct electricity.

while your battery is under the bonnet, the battery ground point in the boot may still be there

i grounded my amp to the powered antenna ground. no issues with it.

That is a good idea accually, since I dont even use the antenna! to many ads on the radio lol I prefer to listen to CD's or the engine :) haha

I will try that and see how it goes. if not ill try to attempt to ground it to the negative on the battery, the only problem is I will need a long ass ground cable as the battery is in the front of the car and the amp is in the boot (trunk for u americans) lol

Thanks guys!!

if your amp and battery are in the trunk, run a groung wire to the neg term on the battery
