Hey, I am in the middle of putting in new a system in my '87 gxl. I have removed the storage bins and done some fiberglass work to the frame of the bins. Anyway, my question is...with the storage bins removed there are 2 bolts on each side of the frame on the back near the top. (sorry no camera, kinda like if you sat down in the area where the bins were, your back would hit these bolts). Are these good grounding points? A couple of high end amps going in, just want to make sure everything is good. I have ground down to bare metal and am using the bolt with a tooth washer with less than a foot of 2 guage wire for a ground. These bolts don't seem to be holding anything on. I just want to use the passenger side top bolt for my ground. I think that I am ok. Any input or a better idea for a ground is welcome. I want this system to have zero background noise. thanx

I think those are for the rear seat. I seem to remember using them in the past but i have had my own grounding point for about the last 8 yearss. Best thing to do is to go and get a cheap multimeter and check the voltage from your ground wire to your amps main. It should be a fine ground point.

 

Yep, if they are the bolts I'm thinking of, they hold down the seat hinges for the rear seat. I'm pretty sure they would make a decent enough ground.

 

I can't guarantee you they are "noise free", but they do work for ground points.
