Default C5 Amp Ground Diy

While i was looking for where to ground my amps and i didnt want to ground to the seat so i asked for other alternatives and some people told me that you can ground the amp on the pillar on the pass side

and i couldnt find any pictures of what the ground point looked like well for all of you people who are installing amps and dont want to ground to the seat here is my write up of how to ground on the pillar

remove the side sill and the pillar by the seat belt and you will see this


Un screw the bolt and sand the part around the bolt



Now take your ground wire attach a wire terminal and put up the rubber grommet or you can heat shrink like me and you should have something that looks like this


Now attach the ground wire and on top of it the box that was there before and you are all done and it should look like this



Mods please make it a sticky thanks

You can post this yourself in the C5 FAQ at the top of the Audio forum... no MOD involvement required.
