Make sure your grounding to metal and not paint, if you haven't already. If you want to be sure drill you a little hole, and scrape a bit of parint and bolt that sucker in there. But thats where my amp is, and where its grounded(rear deck, seatbelt). Make sure it sparks when you toutch it, if your hot is hooked up of course.

I grounded my cap directly to the car under the factory amp. Be sure to do lots of sanding for the best possible ground. Make sure NOT to use an iodized bolt or washer.
