Since the car is fiberglass and the battery is in the back it makes it easy.

Both power (+, fused) and ground (-) are at the battery.

Ozzzy,
I went through the rear fender well (rubber grommet) on driverside, right below the rear speaker down to the frame and bolted the ground there. I don't have any hissing issues with my stereo either. The ground wire that came with my install kit was pretty short and would not reach my battery so I just ran it to the frame.
