So I basically have the sand down the paint and bolt it back up?

DO NOT use seat bolt, find existing gound points under rear seat or rear of car.

yeh that ground looks alright. there might be another one somewhere under that black stuff. try to keep the length of the ground cable short.

there should be heaps of grounds in the engine bay. check near the battery.

There is nothing wrong with using the seat belt points or seat mount points as earths. They are in places where the structure is strongest and provide the best earth. Good luck mounting anything better than 8 gauge to that earth point, its just too small.

Cool thanks guys..!! I will keep looking..

Just an update... finially got enough reading to start taking things apart, and especially after going to autosaloon.. very inspired.. Note I was not there to check out rice but the audios side of things.

After pulling seemling endless layers of carpet and partically taking the rain tray...With my head bent in very awkard postion... looked up under the dash and saw LIGHT shining throught a little gap. Felt like a prisoner excervating they way out of prison and seeing light for the first time .. .hahah

Don't hook up to many ground wires at the same point, for some reason its not good.

Let us know how you go.

OK now it's finially finished, thanks all for your input could not have done it with out yous. Special thank you to rayray for polish my battery and grounding my amp, thats -3 hours work for me at least.

Took me 3 days taking it slowly, going easy on my back, thinking the best route and fishing out wires and attempting neatist job. Pretty satisfied, only managed to have a little cut on finger ( my way of rating project satisfaction)

Still waiting for the rear speakers, but I talked myself in changing those OEM tweeters, THEY just rune the set up, so I convinced myself to replace them with 4' in the hole, matching the rest. As for the Rockford amp, I am very happy. First test run flawless in every way, I was expecting no power here and there as for sound, my body melts.

Next audio project, custom fibre glass sub box and definately Dynamat. Enjoy.

All speaker wire running thought center console and power cable left side trim... I know ..... I even labels all wires
