Drill ? 95% of the new set ups don't need drilling at all.All you need most of the time is scrap the paint coat at the closed bolt 'till the metal is fully exposed & attach the ground cable. For instant I removed the rear seat latches,scraped the bolt hole with a drill & sanding stone.Attached the two amps ground cables together & did the same procedure with the capacitor - cable to the front left net hook.
Dakar was just the begining.

yup, the shorter the ground cable the less noise you will get....
secondly it isnt necessary to run it to the frame, i mean, if you wanna do it then its a good ground guaranteed but not necessary by any means...
its a good practice to remove paint as much as possible...however, they do make star washers now that cut into the paint while tightening the ground and those make GREAT grounds....

They also sell multi-level braided sheathes that go around your ground wire and completely insulate it from picking up sound. It's pretty much a faraday cage design that goes around a wire. Also works if your signal wires are picking up interference. That way you can route your wires however you may need if necessary.
