Default Grounding an amp

THis is frustrating, first off i have a 10w7 in a sealed box powered by a 500/1. I have regrounded the amp twice, and it keeps coming loose. I am grounding it to the trunk floor of my 95 accord with a self-tapping screw that is ~3/4 of an inch long. What can i do to keep it in place or where else can i put it. I have even thought of using JB Weld, but im not sure if it conducts electricity. I am just very frustrated with this now. Also I am going to use some edead soon, and wanted to know what I should do with the ground wire when covering the trunk floor

after making the hole with a self-tapping screw, step up to a slightly larger screw and use a star washer
