Amp ground location

Smoke24 · 02-26-2014, 07:03 AM

Hi guys, I am installing an amp on the space in front of the spare tire, I have the 2012 Z any Idea where I can ground the cable to? And it's that a good place to put the amp for ventilation purposes?

Thanks in advance.

If you look at the side wall behind where your installing your amp there are silve bolts with nothing under them any of those will work great, just make sure to sand down to bare metal.

In addition to removing paint to get to bare metal, I like to use a star washer (provides some "bite" between the connector and ground and will help keep the fastener from coming loose) and a small dab of bulb grease (or similar) to minimize corrosion.
