    Newbie here,
    Where have others who installed an amp in the truck space compartment grounded thier amp? I bolted it to the metal that goes across the opening of the trunk compartment, just behind the back battery. Is this a good place or not?

    Should be fine. Any metal chassis part is ground.

    I added a grounding lug (available from any good custom auto audio shop) and attached it to one of the
    bolt down-flanges on the HV battery. See picture below.
    Cheers
