93 Civic Hatch/ Good Place to Ground?

[HelpMyHonda]

Looking for a good place to ground my amp, It's got an alright ground at the moment, but it's causing the high pitched whine sound, and i would love to get rid of it. don't think my ears can handle much more.

any bolt should work or cround it to the chassis

sorry, but where can i bolt it to the chassis? and most of the bolts i have seen are coated in paint...

Take the bolt out and scrape the paint off of the chassis around the bolt hole. Then put your ground lug down on the bare metal and put the bolt through it. If the bolt is holding on a bracket or something put the ground lug under the bracket, so the lug is touching the bare chassis metal.

naw, wrap your wire about the bolt that holds your seats on, the front, not the back. it's easy to access and works.

you need to have the power wire and the remote wire ran on one side of the car and the rca wires on the otherside that wll stop the noise.

^what he said. I had the same problem. Its called alternator whind. Did what 94chb said and the whind went away.

what chb said to do will stop the noise but for future... always ground to chassis. its the best spot to ground anything.

You want a solid ground. To best conceal the wire and maintain the use of your spare tire (dont kow where your amp is) place thee wire on the passenger or driver side rear side pannel, there is plenty of room and a few holes to shoot a bolt into.
