Where to ground!?!
I know this is probably on the board somewhere, but im too lazy to look. I have all the wires ran back there and hooked up but the amp does not turn on!?!? 1st question... will the amp turn on if it's not properly grounded? 2nd question... where can i ground it? right now i have it on a shock bolt? please help

Rep Power: 0 um..... wrong forum.
and to answer your question. If it is not grounded then it will not turn on. the shock bolt should be fine. maybe you should check your turn-on lead. did you put the fuse in. did you hook it to the battery.

Rep Power: 0 i grounded mine to a bolt behind the back seats but i took mine out a while ago. That's the only reason I could see the bolt. Just get a self tapping screw and put right between were the back seats fold down.
Did you check to see if there is a fuse inthe AMP wire?
(i'll post a pic in a minute)

i meant to say amp wire
i had mine had blown when was connecting mine once and i just upgraded to a bigger fuse
besides that, just check al the connections and make sure their tight and in the right spots
EDIT
Yes, you can get a self tapping screw and just drill the ground there. It'll keep in snug and wont go anywhere.
