Question Best Grounding Spot?

Just like the title says. I need some suggetions. My amps are mounted in the pass rear fenderwell where the spare tire used to be. I tried the sandind the paint away, and gounding to the floor, but I still have a ton of noise. Thanks for all opinions!

Are you talking about the bolt for the upperbelt mounting point for the rear seats for the belt tensioner? It has a large bolt faced upside-down, and then a large nut the goes down on top of it?

Holy carp, that thing would need a huge ring terminal!

Where'd you pick pick up one that would fit over that bolt?

I used the one that came with the wiring kit, just loosen up the nut, slide it in (like a spade) and tighten up the nut, this was my experience, you should try what ever you find more suitable for your needs.

Did you use a vise, or something elso to hold the terminal down. Everytime I try, the terminal just gets stuck on the bit and spins with it.
Maybe I just need to go to the gym more.
