So the original question was finding a good ground, correct? If I'm not mistaken, as long as you are hitting metal, it's grounded (i.e. neg or -). Look at your battery, it's connected to the frame on the Neg or - side of the battery. The entire metal frame and body of your vehicle is a ground. Frame or body (sheet metal) is a ground. Stick the amp where it will fit, screw a ground into metal, and you should be good to go. If there's any question, test it with a meter.
I'm not trying to be an ***, just trying to answer the original question. I gathered he wasn't asking WHERE to put it, just where to ground it.

Though if you have a really powerful amp, you may want to route a ground directly back to the battery. Switched of course. If not , you take the chance of draining your battery if you forget to turn it off. Food for thought.
