thanks for the space</TD></TR></TABLE> Any place on the floor pan of the car, keep the ground lead as short as you can, there are lots of bolts that go into the floor pan, [seatbelt bolts, seat bolts, rear bumper, and others] the advantages of using an exsisting bolt are 1- no drilling a hole in the car, 2- you can tighten a bolt a lot tighter then you can a screw. The shock you are getting is static electricity, it has nothing to do with with the sound system. 94

 

grind the paint off the rear seat bolts and use them. shock probley just static.
