Default C6 Z06 Amp ground location

Where is the best and closest place to ground an amp
in the C6 Z06. Amp will be mounted on the rear wall of the cabin.
Just asking because of the the aluminum chassis.

Thanks
Mike

If you pull up the carpet on the rear passenger side, the battery ground cable runs to the spot Penta was referring to under the pass. side B-pillar, the rail behind the seats. You can ground to the battery as well... depends on the location of the amp ultimately, as you want your ground to be as short as possible.

I've been looking for pictures, but no luck. Anyone has a picture that can share? I'm gonna tackle this this weekend.
Thanks!

B pillar ground bolt is only a few inches off the floor, on the rear wall, IIRC next to the seat belt roll under the plastic trim.

Carpet pulls out/down easily, and plastic trim pops out with just a bit of effort.
