The Focus has a lot of ground points that are pretty good, but the one I used in the hatch for my sub amp is near the post (for the latch) under the carpet. The bolt goes down to the bare metal (which I sanded down to ensure a good contact) and doesn't hold anything else in place. I dunno if it'll be in the same spot on the sedan, but I'll take a pic of it for you tomorrow on the hatch and you can see if you can find the same sorta thing.

I grounded out in the trunk cavity, right to the underside of the rear windshield deck. Never had any sound issues or problems.
I think I stole that idea from Oscar, that's where the one shop grounded his amp to.

You didn't steal the idea, I'm the one who bolted it there. :P

peel back the carpet on the side of the trunk. You'll find a few spots.
