    Where is the best place to put the ground at for my Amplifier? I'm having trouble figuring out where to put it.

    if your using a amp install kit, the eye loop on the ground may not fit, i had to change mine so it fit the bolt on the strut.

    I used the ground underneath the rear seat where the seatbelt buckle attaches to. Never had a issue.

    doesnt matter where you go, just keep it at 18" or under. You can drill a hole in metal and put a screw in, the wire doesnt care.

    I got the kit from Cadence. I had it under the seat before but I had to mod the crap out of the wire ending. I put it on the strut bolt to fit it really quick and it almost slides all the way down. I'm putting a battery back there also idk when though.
