Ground Cable
Howdy! I'm putting my new stereo equipment in my truck this week, and have a few quesitons about the ground cable coming from my amp:
1) Should I ground it to a seat bolt?
2) What type of device should I use on the end of the ground cable to attacht it to the grounding point? I think something like a washer with a crimp stem on it would work.

Its easy,put a ring terminal on the wire any kind you like.Find a bolt or you can install a new screw in any metal part near the amp.Just make sure if you run in a new screw that you remove the paint it needs bare metal to make a good ground.And keep the ground cable as short as you can and of the same size as your power wire.

A solid GROUND is a must, and make sure the ground is to bare metal. If you have more than one ground, make sure you tie them together to minimize noise.
