Earthing an amp in the boot.

[mhibbins]

I've just spent today putting in some infinity 6x9 speakers in my s3 and I think an amp would help after all (the head unit is a bit stressed). Has anyone installed an amp in the boot of an s3? If so, where did you earth it? The only thing I can think of it to take the earth lead through the floor to the chassis but don't fancy drilling the hole. Is there a better way?

Ta,

Is that safe? I'm quite happy to run a cable back to where the main loom goes through the bulkhead along under the transmission tunnel cover (where I'm running the speaker cable) but I was told that I need to earth as close to the amp as possible (presumably closer than 3m).

Thanks,

Thanks for the advice. In the end I just plugged the 6x9 infinities straight into the new pioneer with some beefy cable and it sounds fine and is quite loud enough. Now to put the amp and the old alpine in the land rover
