Default Grounding aftermarket amp that is under steering wheel

Hi everyone, adding a pbr300x1 to the non-infinity JK tomorrow, any good ideas on where to ground? My goal is to have all the wiring concealed behind the dash with only the speaker wire running to the trunk area...

if anyone has done this before, I could use the help!

thanks

There is a bolt used as a factory ground in the driver's kick panel, or if you have extra wire you could just run the ground to the battery as well.

On the drivers side remove the kick panel to the left of your gas/brake pedals. You'll see two grounding bolts with a few wires allready attached. Just loosen one of the bolts & add your ground wire.
