Default C6 Ground Question

Hey guys,I am getting ready to install some amps and speakers/sub into my C6 coupe. I was just curious for those that have already done an install, where did you run the ground wire?Thanks!

I used an existing factory ground location on the passenger side B pillar. Scuffed up the metal around it to get more than just thread-contact and then sprayed some undercoat on it to prevent corrosion.
