I have a battery in the trunk for my system. And the ground is connected to the trunk latch. I took that plastic piece off and ran the 4ga wire to it than to my battery. There is two holes that you can run the wire threw to make it look really nice..but that is a great spot to take a ground it is already stripped and shouldn't come loose on you..at least mine hasn't and its been about 2 years now

I used one of the rear suspension bolts located in the trunk. I ran 7" of 4g wire from the bolt to a distribution block, then 4" of 8g from the d.block to the amp. Your wires should be as short as possible, especially your ground.

As daddy mentioned, it has to be bare metal. (for a good ground)
