Default Wiring my Amp.

I'm going to install and well I was wondering if any of you guys would know how to wire it specifically to the Audi 90. My last amp I installed seemed to not have a very good ground and would always stop working for my. Where's a good spot in the trunk to ground it to? Any feedback would be great!

Default There's nothing specific for wiring an amp in an Audi...power, ground, remote, RCAs, wires to...

...speaker(s)...?

Default A good spot is one with bare metal and where the terminal is securely screwed down.

Add a little dielectric grease to insure that it doesn't corrode and you are done. If you had a problem with a "good ground," then the metal wasn't bare, the screw wasn't tight, there was corrosion, or your terminals were not properly crimped, wires properly spliced, etc.

"Audi-ness" has little to do with it really. Aside from that, if do a search, you will come up with all sorts of comments.

I used a threaded area by the spare tire, why drill when a grounding terminal is built in

Default Thanks for the help.

I know its pretty much the same thing when it comes to wiring an amp in most cars but just wanted to see where were some good grounding points.
