Where's the best spot for a clean grounding point?
Need a clean clean grounding point in a 02 coupe.
+ is running from IG2 from the steering harness.
Reason : Noticable intereference lines on a 7" LCD from a P4 AMD2500.

Rep Power: 273 Here's the equipment list:
Dash:
Pyle 7" tft recessed in the dash. _ needs ground. (waiting for the lilli)
Kenwood MP3 deck relocated to where the acc jack used to be _ already grounded.
Trunk:
A 700W inverter sits above and behind the rear wheel (driverside), currently bolted to the metal body. _ needs ground_ ... Pos+ fed from IG2.
A microAtX AMD XP2500, 120GB, 512MB, Radeon9600 256MB sits behind the rear wheelwell, above the trunk vent assembly (driverside) also bolted to the same metal body. _case needs ground_.
...
From what I understand, all the gear has to be grounded to the same point.

Rep Power: 286 I don't think this will help, but I grounded my amp to the bolt that holds down your rear seats. I believe its a 10mm bolt. I used a longer bolt though.
I'm just making some suggestions.

Rep Power: 338 a ground isnt responsible for the lines you are getting.
maybe it could help if its contributing, but they exist because its a pyle monitor.
you should notice a drastic improvement when you replace it with the lilliput.

Your positive wire for the inverter, this ig2, it doesn't sound very thick, why not try replacing it with some thicker 8 gauge from the battery. as for grounding, just drill a hole in the metal behind the trunk fabric and sand it down to the bare metal, then bolt the wire onto there. Grounding to the same point isn't really necessary.
