A squealing amp is usually an oscillation. So, you should rule that out first following the good suggestions made by the inmates.
If I am building my own amp I always run a bus bar with at least 12 gauge bare copper grounded at one of the power trans mounting bolts. From this point all the connections should be based on most current first to least current last on the bus bar. Sometimes I ground the input and output jacks on their own ground and sometimes I ground on the bus bar. I have not been able to detect any difference between doing it either way. good luck, Dak
