Re: HELP!! NO METAL!!!!!!! (thegame)
I ran my ground back to the battery but here is another solution provided by DPC5. This location in the underside of the rear bumper (between the exhaust tips)
In regards to your power problem, there is a yellow wire that provide switched power in the passenger foot well behind the kick panel. Just remove the cover and you will see it hanging there. FYI, there are 3 wires under the panel (red, yellow, and black). The red is always hot, and the black is a ground.
Hope this helps. :cheers:

Here is a clue on the picture. Look under the back of the car and look straight up from between the mufflers. The C5 emblem you see is on an exhaust plate that is very common on C5's. You will see the bumper right there. :yesnod:

You could ground at the seat bolt that holds the seat down. (For use in the coups).

There is a radio on output of 12volts on he back of the HU that I used to turn the amp on. I grounded the amp at the HU bracket by running along the center console. Simple and effective.
