Default Where to Ground on a C3

My amp is located on the rear wall of the cargo compartment. Some say to ground to the seat however this would result in a very long wire...4-5 feet. Any other ideas?-TK

i'm not sure...haven't been back there myself. if you can't find an access point drilling a hole isn't a big deal, it'll be behind carpet and you won't see it anyways.

Actually, on a C3 the battery is in a compartment right behind the driver's seat, so sending the ground directly to the battery might be the shortest route (without drilling through your fiberglass).

:iagree: With a C3 just ground to the battery since it's right there in the back next to your amp. It will make for a solid ground and no drilling.
