Default Supercrew ground in the cab

Where is the best spot people are grounding yheir amps in the cab. I'm trying to wire up my sound ordinance B8pt using the Pac module. I got it all into the rear seat area and cannot find a good bare metal location to ground to. Any thoughts?

The sear frame is powder coated and makes a lossy ground, where the seat clips into the back wall is a good spot, or just put a self tapping screw into the floor or back wall. You'll still want to remove some of to paint there.

Pull carpet or whatever, grab a wire wheel and make a good clean ground. Then, drill a hole, get a bolt, washer, and nut and get a good clean tight ground.

I'm using the bolts that hold that brackets that the rear seats lock into. Is this an adequate ground? Is there anyway to check for ground? I'm using a JL Cleansweep and it really sounds like I'm getting engine noise through my speakers. So i'm trying to elminate ground as a possibility.

It is ok but make sure all the paint is off
