I'm installing my subs and I need to know if it is safe to use the bolt holding the bracket holding my stock amp for the ground. I was afraid any current running through the ground would mess up my stock amp. Thanks for the help

 

I guess it would be ok, personalyidont like to use the same ground.What's the reason for using that bolt instead of something else?

 

Because im installing an aftermarket amp. it needs to be grounded to the frame of the car

 

I know that! I was asking why that ground instead of the seat belt or another bolt. Just to be on the safe side.

 

I couldnt find another bolt that i could unscrew all the way and put back in. the amp kit i have requires you to take the whole screw out, place the circle ground wire thing on the screw, and then screw it back in

 

I did that in my car and never once had a problem. And I was running 800 watts through it.

I assume you're taking the stock amp out?

 

oh you attatched it to the stock amp bracket bolt and it didnt mess it up at all?

 

Yeah the bolt that holds the amp to the rear deck. I used that one and NEVER had a problem with it.

I used a bolt that attaches the carpet wall in the trunk to the baffle board. I used it because i mounted the amp on the baffle board. If there is a bolt that you would really like to use but cant remove it, you can always mod the wire ring or pick-up a open endconector.
