Default Car amp ground, can I use this?

I am looking for a car amp ground in my 1994 Honda Accord. I have been searching, and found this bolt behind the Rear Passenger side part of the seat.
It is located above the right-rear strut, and it will be passing by the power cable for a few feet. The black hold to the top left of the bolt leads to the trunk, and that is where I will be running both my Power and Ground wires through. Is this an alright place? Is it okay for a ground wire to be near the power wire?

Here is the Bolt

I assumed you were installing it under the seat. If you're installing in the trunk just find a ground that is being held to the chassis somewhere. Or you can check something metal for continuity to the negative battery post.

How do I check continuity to the negative battery post from the trunk?

Never mind about finding the continuity. All I did was gro from that bolt, to an actual ground for the lights in the back. From the bolt I posted a picture of, to that ground, the continuity was perfect. It was reading at 00.0 Ohms. So i guess I will be using that bolt for my ground.
