Serious Problem Here!

I have a 1993 Toyota Camry. I can't find a good ground connection! It is pissing me off! I've tried under the front seats, and basically every inch of the trunk, I don't know where else to go????? CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT THERE!!!!! I've had everything installed for 3 days now, and my subs aren't working yet, because of the ground connection I can't find!!

Thanks!!!

But I've already tried a screw that was under the carpeting in the trunk, that was screwed into the frame of the car......????????????

Seat Belt Bolt is a good place

are you sure its your ground?

Yea, what else would it be, I'm pretty sure there is nothing else wrong with the installation. I brought my car in to Curcuit City, and they told me just to find a good ground connection......What else would be my problem??

Dude, WTF is your problem? Slow down and read. Goto wherever your amp is. Now look under car to make sure you will not be drilling into gas tank. Drill hole, use nut and bolt to secure wire to body of car. Dont forget to scrape the paint off around the hole.

Alright guys, I'll have to try it. But if it doesn't work I have no idea what I'm going to do! This shit pisses me off!

well if the above mentioned solution doesnt work...then most likly your problem is not your ground.....if you make a good ground connection to the chassis of the car and ur amp doesnt turn on.....then its obvious that the problem lies elsewhere

 

[Klark21 10+ year member]

what problems could there be??? If it isn't the ground connection......

possibly bad power wire, remote, blown fuse, amp fried, bad subs, etc.... the more info you give us the better we are at diagnosing your possible problem.....what exactly are you running? and what kind of problems specifically are you having?

are you serious..your making a huge deal like this about a ground.. i told u 10 posts back to drill and bolt it down, and ur done. sand paint off for a better connection to bare metal, just be careful u dont go into ur gas tank, and stop being a god **** sissy.
