It's possible that there's an MTX amp out there that's better than this JL amp, but in the case of the 2 amps I have, the JL is far superior. The MTX is probably 7 or 8 years old and has taken some damage to the body, it's one that my buddy gave me that he got from a pawn shop. It's possible the JL is defective (crosses fingers) but from looking at it it seems to be in great condition.
where's the most common place to do it in a car.
I sanded away the paint and tried to get it nice and snug with a ring terminal, but it's possible I have a bad ground, it was much easier to do the ground in my passport. Right now in the grand am I have it on the far left side of the trunk where the frame is, but I'll try and relocate it.I was think of attaching it to the giant bolt that sticks up that the spare tire goes on, attaching it to the bottom part of that. Does that seem like a reasonable ground?Sounds like u have a poor ground.
Where it located?
Did u scrap away paint and make sure u have good contact?

subwoofer is set to the default 0 on the deck, I haven't messed with any of the other settings on the deck yet so everything is at default.Is the subwoofer volume turned up on your jvc deck?????? Also what subwoofer settings do you have on that deck??????
I've never seen one of these, thanks for the tip, in the event that it's not the ground I'll snag one of these.I had a customer with the same issue. Ended up being the head unit. Make sure you do not have a ground loop some where. Check wiring for head unit and for the amp. Make sure your grounds are good grounds. May also want to get a Ground Loop Isolator if anything else. They look like this.
Good luck.
