On mine, I have a metal bar across the top of the trunk in front of my rear speakers that is part of the chassis. I just grounded there and it works fine.

Find any bolt close and take it off and sand around it. Or you can just sand a spot and take a self tapping screw and drill it through. Make sure the spot is clear underneath where you drill.

Do you have, or can you borrow an ohm meter? Find the place you want to ground, sand it, put the ohm meter to it. If it reads 0 or very close, then its a good ground. What size power and ground wires you using? They should be the same AWG size. Also if amp is cutting out it may be a ohm wiring issue to the amp.
What subs (voice coils config) and amp are you using?

yes that can be it...your voice coil configuration...what you wil have to do is find out the vc's of ur subs and then wire them to whats stable for you amp....lets say ur amp is stable at 2 ohms...wire the subs at a 2 ohm load if possible...catch my drift? you can get these pics that show u how to wire ur subs from rockford fosagates site if im correct

good luck buddy
