Default Ground location in trunk

Alright so I'm going to be installing an aftermarket amp and sub soon and am in the process of running the power wires but couldn't find a good place for the ground in the trunk. I was thinking maybe the rear deck but heard that's not a really good idea? Has anyone that has done something similar help me out, thanks!

Default The piece of metal the amp is mounted to

Ground it to the metal that the stock amp is bolted into. Not the amp mount but the actual frame piece that it screws into. Should be a ground there already anyway.

Passenger side, just behind the backseat. You'll find a ground fastener already there. A socket won't fit. Use a combo wrench to loosen it. I had to lay in the trunk to get the fastener out and connect the amp ground ring.
