Good Ground Location on Gen1?

I need a good grounding location for the main ground wire for my amp. Right now it's on the right side vertical wall, about halfway back in the trunk. I screwed into an existing hole that was there. I obviously sanded the surface. But the metal seems like sort of a thin plate so I'm wondering if I'm not getting as good conductance as I could. Where else have y'all grounded?

There is a nice spot in the trunk on the right side towards the back seats as well where Toyota has grounded other things already, I used this and it has worked well so far.

I agree with Chewie. I grounded mine on the right side towards the back seat behind the carpeting. Great ground for me.

i persnally drilled a hole just below my amp in the floor of the trunk, that may my ground wire would be shorter, the longer the wire, the more electrical current resistance

usually any existing bolt hole will have resistence. at least 5 ohms or more. test in with a meter. you'll be surprised. i would make my on ground.
