  • Where to connect my ground wire for new sound system.

    Just wondering where some of you have connected the ground wire on your systems because I don't even know where to start.

    I grounded mine at the screw/bolt that holds the tail lights in, that way I didn't have to make a new hole.

      just take a 12v test light, you can get them for a couple bucks at your local auto parts store. Probe around until you find a good ground and you're golden!

        Yea my buddy said it had to be a solid ground and the tail light bolt wouldnt work but it turns out hes wrong lol. The way my system is set up I have the amps in the spare tire well, would I be able to ground it out to the long screw the tire sits on? it seems suitable enough and it out of the way.

          you would need to check if its a good ground with a 12v test light-that's one of the best ways to see if a bolt/screw is a good ground. I would imagine it would be but there is also a lot of spray insulation around the seams and such down there so it may not be

            IMO the best grounding location is one of the bolts that holds the factory amp in on the passenger sidein the trunk.....

                My amp is right behind the back seat, and I used the bolt for the trunk lid hinge.

                  he mentioned his amps are in the spare tire well. He's looking for a ground IN the spare tire well.

                  lol for a 3rd time-12v test light!
