My Vibe Active sub is grounded under the rear passenger-side seat. I'll get some pictures for you tomorrow, if you want.

I'm not sure whether you'd want to do it yourself. I think you have to drill a hole, which is ever so close to the fuel tank. I had my sub fitted professionally.

This is cable Ollie

(the one in the box) Should be in for the South East meet hopefully, if you're going to be there I'll give you a demo of it all. (rest of the pics can be seen
HERE)
As for your problem Samil, is that metal bit part of the chassis? If not then I'd suggest finding a bolt that is.

That's some beefy wiring, Tom

Makes my cheapo Autoleads kit look anorexic
I shall look forward to seeing your new stuff, Tom. And subsequently having my eardrums blown out by the amount of earth-shattering bass

Its not really recomended putting the wires next to your fuel tank, as it can interfere with your fuel lines

I trust the people who installed my sub, and that they did a good job. I've had no problems whatsoever.

my 6x9s run at 4 ohms and the amp says it is stable at 2 ohms could this cause it to cut out randomly?
or would it just be the ground

Iv grounded mine to the passenger side wall, when you move the carpet, on top of the suspension there will be a hole on the metal wall on the left of this, iv sanded it down a little to get rid of the paint and just stuck a nut and bolt to it.
