Well actually by code the only place where neutral and ground can come together
in an electrical service is at the first disconnect point. Some meter systems
have the main breaker incorporated within the meter gear. If that’s the case
the neutral and ground come together there at the meter pan and the ground goes
to the grounding electrode from that point. From there the main lug only panel
is serviced by three insulated wires L- L2-N and ground/bonding conductor. The
neutral bar floats above ground ( the can) and the can gets a separate bar for
grounds only.

NO, NO, NO!
As K4FMX has correctly told you, the amp needs ONLY Line, Line, and
Ground. It does NOT need Neutral, and you should make no connection to
it. It is a HUGE violation of Code to connect Neutral to Ground anywhere
except the Panel where power enters your home.
