Remove the carpet in the rear, where the hatch lock is. Remove the carpet and hook up your ground to the bolt there. Thats where I got my ground for my amp.

dont ground to seat belt bolts....pull carpet and find a good ground under there somewhere... clean of course of all paint.... in general you shouldnt ground with seat belt bolts to due safety and well they just arent good clean grounds...
