i put mine on the spot that you marked A and i have never had any problems with it. i have had my system installed for atleast 4 months now. make sure you use sand paper or something to take all the paint off though you need a good metal to metal contact with no paint.

i grounded my under the carpet in the rear cargo area. i just drilled a small hole and put a nut and bolt on it. dont know if its the best way, but it works fine and its very close to the amp so it didnt take much wire.

Yea, dont be afraid to go through the carpet and sand it down and make a tap right into the body....

i would think grounding to the frame would be safer than to the body...
i know you're supposed to sand down the paint so it comes into direct contact with bare metal
im waiting til i mount my amp to run the ground cable

A for sure. Felony, I bet you would have slightly less voltage loss from the ground marked A. Heck, with that ground, you might as well just ground your amps to the jack in the back.

anytime you are putting a ground to something make sure to sand ALL the paint off to be sure you get the best contact
