I tried all the bolts that hold the seatbelts down, and whenever i tap my brakes, i can hear thumps in my subs....does that mean that they share the same ground or what??<P>------------------<BR>~'94 GS (Creek Blue Mica)

Re: Where do i ground my amp??
Mine is grounded on a bolt under the shock tower just above where te back speakers are, if you take that off you see three if them i used one of those they are gold.
Re: Where do i ground my amp??
Go to your local home repair store and ask for a self tapping sheetmetal screw. Find a place on the body of the car, remove the carpeting and scrape away all the paint and junk to reveal the bare metal. Use the screw to tap a hole and ground it there. <P>Tip: the ground wire should be at least the diameter of the power wire, and should only be 1-1.5 feet long.<P>~Ryan~

Re: Where do i ground my amp??
Might be talking about the bolts that hold the rear seatbelt unit. When you take the rear speaker cover off, you'll see the seatbelt unit, you should figure out what he means.Mazdaspeed96743 wrote:Anyone knows where hes talking about. Im not quite sure.
