Default Amp grounding question

For those of you who installed your amp(s) behind the passenger seat in the glove box, where specifically did you ground it/them?

Also, if anyone has any easy, detailed instructions about how to take that glove box out, I would really appreciate it. From looking at it today and removing a few screws, it doesn't seem like an easy process and I don't want to break anything. I want to take this off to see where I may be able to ground my amp and also to be able to fit the amp underneath the 'hidden' compartment.

Thanks for any help!

To remove the glovebox, you have to first take off the panels on the sides of the car behind the doors, then remove the panel where the glovebox is. After that, the glovebox is held in with screws around its perimeter and two way in the inside. You also have to pop out the "secret compartment" in the glovebox to remove it. All of these parts except the glovebox are held in by snap/clip things.

There's a good ground location on the driver's side, to the rear of the seatbelt. There are two bolts that aren't holding anything on that can be seen. There may be a similar thing on the passenger side. I didn't look.

I used bastards suggestion. After removing one of the 10mm bolts and sanding a small spot clean of paint, I install the ground wire. Worked like a charm. I have a very solid ground. Thanks bastard (that doesn't sound right)!?!?!
