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.

komoman after I got looking at your picture I came up with a dumb question. the b pillar is at the back of the door right? The large plastic piece right on the side of the seat back will need to be removed for access?
