Bare metal as close to the amp as possible.

This depends on where your amp is. The best thing to do is find bare metal, hit it with some sand paper until theres no paint or primer, and sink a self tapping screw into it. I have my two channel amp mounted nicely under the driver seat and its grounded next to the seat rails. For something drawing this much power I suggest building your own ground and not using any old bolt.

What did you ground it to, bare metal or a wire?
