Where to ground?

I am mounting my amp in the back of my F250 Crewcab. Just wanted a suggestion of where to ground my amp back there. Thanks!

I don't know if the 250's have this, but I used the bolt where the latch bracket is held to the cab in my 150. Just sand the paint off real good and you should have no problem.

Get the ground as close as you can to the amp, then just peal up a little carpet (depends on how you wanna do it) and find a good connection to the chassis. I would find a bolt hole, or create your own, expose bare metal and when putting the bolt through, use a star washer. Voila! Ground.

i always use the seat bolts that hold the seats down, they are usually pretty good

a little grease after you take off the paint will keep the rust away and make better contact

MB Quart 12" Reference Sub in a sealed .87 cu .ft. box. Dual 2 ohm voicecoil running in parallel (aka 1 ohm).

Amp is a Directed 5-channel pushing 80 watts x 4 into JL Audio XR seperates front and rear (6x8) and 650 watts x 1 into the sub. It hits REAL hard.
