Default C5 Z06 Amplifier Ground

I've done a lot of searching and see some people opt to ground your amp out on a seat bolt. Does anyone have pictures of how you've done this?

I'd like to actually not have the ground that far away, though if possible.

Where did you ground your amp?

And spray over it with rubberized undercoating after the bolt is in place to keep it from corroding.

Here in PA, large temperature changes cause humidity changes inside the car whether it's stored or not. It'll corrode over a couple years.

Well The job is complete and it sounds great.

For anyone who is searching, there is a spot right below where your seatbelt coils into on the passenger side. Unbolt the little black thing and dremmel the black coating off then you should be golden.
