Default Good rear grounding location

I ran 4gauge power cable to the back and now am looking for a good ground point? I read other post about the screw between the rear compartments is the good for two amps about 800 watts total. I have 4gauge ground cable and distribution blocks. Oh yeah its a 98 coupe.

You can drill through the center well and ground to the rear bumper just above the exhaust tips (DpC5 did this, contact him for more information) or run the ground back to the battery. I chose to run mine back to the battery. :cheers:
