Easiest thing to do is just screw it into the metal of the boot.. alternatively you could run it to another 0v cable in the area, there'll be one leading to the rear light cluster somewhere.

Undid one of my seat belts under neath the passenger seat and shoved it under there.
Alternatively there is another earth behind the First aid box holder, but i think if i remember correctly involves you taking the holder off to get to it, but the holder does go back on, used this earth for my capacitor, don't cheat and do the stupid thing like i did though, put my earth on something metal and then rubber on top of it *doh* make sure meal is touching the earth al around.
If that made any sense.

And guess what?!
Well, first I tried to look for this seatbelt thingy that everyone's been talking about, but couldn't find or do it. Ripped some of the carpet of the boot and found this little earth point behind the.... you've guess it - the medical box bit!!
Screwed it there now and it's walking? Working! As you may tell I'm rather excited. Got a 'BBG A2.50' amp stuck there now with a 12" JBL sub. Pretty cool, but no speakers at the back and using standard 'BETA' component's at the front, sounds crap!
Any recommendations for some new components? Front and maybe back.
Thanks.

I've just put my sound yerterday and the Earth came from the bolt behind the first aid.

Same here, but I was wondering if there's something like that on the right hand side of the boot/opposite side of where the medic kit is, 'cos my amp rusn the cable on the right hand side, would be more convenient to install the amp on the right.n3oNx wrote:I've just put my sound yerterday and the Earth came from the bolt behind the first aid.
But is there a grounding point like that on the right?!
