Here it is. These are pictures of the left side of the trunk where the stock amp and CD changer are located and where I also put my sub amp. It shoes where I got the ground points from. Hope that helps

A clean and good ground connection is critical for an amp to avoid noise and enable enough amperage with minimal resistance. The wire need to be as short as possible between the amp and the car chassis. I figured getting the ground in two points instead of one would help secure the ground connection. That is why I have two.
