Where is the closest ground to the jack storage area in a 64 vert (for car audio)?

Splice it into the harness that runs to the back of car...or run a wire to the courtesy light there in the back....or put it through the floor plug and ground to frame.

That would be preferable to cutting into your original wiring harness if you change your mind or a future owner wants it back to stock. Pilot Dan

The birdcage is grounded, and if I remember correctly the metal brace behind the seats is welded to the cage on the open cars. So there is a ground sorce there already.
