Early C4 Amp Ground Location
For those of you using aftermarket power amplifiers: When mounted in the hatch area, where are you grounding your amps in your early C4s?
It is looking like I'll have to drill to get to the antenna ground, I would rather not do that... Is there a better option?

The carpeted wall behind the passenger seat has a bunch ground off it already. It takes some work to get access to it, but I was already running my signal wires down the middle of the car anyways.

Another spot I have had luck with is grounding to a Seat track Bolt.

another vote for the seat bolt!
you can run it under the carpet and it will exit halfway.
That will make sense when you look behind the seat

Vote # 3 for the seat bolt (were the seat bolts to the floor pan ). It is easy to access and is a solid 12v ground. No need for drilling anything.
