same place as teh power, take a cable through teh grommet on teh firewall straight to the battery.

I wouldn't normally reccomend it, but your less than 50 cm from teh battery so you will be fine.

it will be fine, the battery negative earth terminal is connected to teh body anyway.


general rule of thumb is don't do loing runs to get there, earth as close to teh amp as possible.

liek I said 50cm is nothing.

mines been that way for 12 months, other than a flat battery due to unrelated lack of use for a couple of months, it has been fine.
