^^ me too but i think the seatbelt bolt is best, although i was told that the passenger tail light was the best earth on a corsa

and run rca leads down the middle, passenger seat out

it stops on interference

i ran all mine down one side with power one down other and still had interference so took it all out and started again :lol:

Yeah, ground wire needs to be as chunky and well connected as the positive to complete the circuit...

don't secure the ground wre near the petrol tank, as this may be dangerous to your health ;)

Power: through the grommet in the bulkhead on the passenger side. Down the side kick plates/rear panels which unscrew, then up under the rear seat into the boot....

Signal: Preferably down the other side of the car, to avoid interference, but in the same way as the power cable...

where do i run them through the car?

1. Run fused power cable from battery +ve terminal to amp.
2. Run ground cable from amp to bodywork (like bolt under rear seat).
3. Run 'remote' cable and phono cables from headunit to amp.
3. Screw down amp and connect speaker outputs to sub terminals.
4. Have more bass....
