Quick question regarding radio hook up
I'm installing a Kenwood "Corvette" stereo, and was wondering where a good place to attach the ground wire might be, given the car is so much fiberglass.
Also, I'm planning to hook the "battery" wire from the radio directly to the "bat" location on the fuse box. Any problems with that?
Sorry if these are obvious questions. I'm new to fiberglass. :D

Re: Quick question regarding radio hook up (dhauser)
I ran my hot from the "bat" and attached my ground to the front bracket that holds up the console plate. I had the carpet off of the side of the console and there is a brace that holds up the console and had ground straps on the drivers side already. I also ran my antenna wire thru a switch so I could keep it down when listening to tapes, and going up my 1 mile long tree lined driveway :D I hid the switch just under the dash/console/carpet joint.
