a fuel cover, so when it sparks (amp cuts off and on) and you have fuel vapours, kabooooooooom!!!!! bad idea they are rubber isolated in certain places which is why it cuts off. and very unsafe to use

depends on how far away you mounted the amp from things, is it a GTR or ?

best is a larger size bolt, paint sanded off under it. fender washer, with locking teeth washer on top of that one. solder all connections depending on the amp current you may need big wire ? what gauge are you using ?

and if you sand off the paint to bare metal, protect the area afterwards or it will create a rust spot.

make sure the fuse is at or very very near the battery, what gauge wire are you using on the positive side as well? a photo is worth a thousand words..lol

when it comes to help.lol

i used one of the bolt holes the remained after i took the plate out from behind my back seats... if your plate is still there maybe tap into one of those bolts?
