My under the set amp is grounded to the seat belt bolt. I figure, it's bolted directly into the frame of the car, it can't be that bad.

If you want the wires to be hidden just ground the amps to one of the four bolts that hold the seat brackets to the car floor. Just make sure you are getting metal to metal contact.
