Default C6 cargo area ground location

Preparing to install a Bazooka tube in the rear of my c6. I have all of the wiring installed but have not done the ground yet. Could someone recommend a good ground location in the cargo area? Thanks

Is the tube going in the front or back of the cargo area? I don't know of a good ground in the back - not sure where the Z battery is grounded to. But towards the front, there is a factory grounding point at the base of the passenger side B pillar. (halo).

There's also a ground point on the top of the rear bumper/frame.

Pull the outer passenger side tail light and look straight down. It has a plastic cable holder stuck on the exposed thread, but the post is long enough to easily mount an additional ring terminal/cable.

Of course you have the problem of penetrating the rear plastic trunk-tub, but it's very close if you are installing your powered speaker back there.

Thanks guys. The sub is going at the back of the cargo area where the cargo net would be.
