Default Amp ground?, '05 SCREW

Hey guys. I'm soon going to add a single 10" in a custom box under the back seat. The amp will probably go under the drivers seat. It's been 20 years since I messed with an amp install. Is the best ground for it still going to be a seat bolt?

I always use a seat bolt or seatbelt bolt. Always works well for me

I have also used a self tapping screw to the floor. Never had an issue.

That's what silicone is made for.

I just grounded my amp to a bolt in the passenger seat an hour ago

If you're grounding to the frame (whether directly or through a seat bolt, etc), make sure to add an equal sized cable from the frame to the battery.
