pull the carpet back on the right side of the trunk and there will be a peice of sheet metal...drill a small hole in it , take some sand-paper and sand all the paint off around the hole, then attatch the spade or eyelet connector off your ground wire, (if you don't have this, i would reccomend a nice big brass one) to the bare metal with a bolt and washer, crank it tight and then drive down the street and make all your neighbor's windows rattle!!
hope this helps

That is how i have it grounded, behind the carpet.

I looked today and the shop wired my car with the rca cables and the power wire on the same side of a car. Last time i pay some one to do something on my car.

so im hopeing that its picking up a signal from that.
i bought something today from the shop that hooks up to the rca cables inbetween the head unit and the amp that is supusto eliminate any signals in the cables, it helped some.


I guess ill rewire it with 4 guage and put a amp on my mb quarts.

but i do miss my music
