Installing Amp ?? - best ground
I would try to shoot for something better. Maybe even put some dielectric grease between your body and ground washer.
It depends on how much current your amp will draw. If you're amp draws 10 amps, it will drop voltage 2 volts with .2 ohms. (V=R*I). So at the moment the amp is pulling 10A the voltage will drop down to 12, assuming 14 to begin with.

If he's going to running a high quality amp, the voltage drop wont matter. higher end amps are rated at 12.2V rather than 14.4V or 13.8V. As far as dielectric grease... all that does is protects from corrosion... it will add some resistance. Dont know how many light bulb sockets I've had to change in the last 5 years because people put bulb grease (dielectric grease) in them.
Didn't know that about dielectric grease.

.. .I assumed the cables that came with the ohm meter were calibrated with the device....Apparently not -- touching the two together yields 0.6 ohms, so I guess my ground location is pretty good 0.2 - 0.4 ohms....
