Hey,
im going to install a deck in the lancer, and I just wanted to know where the best spot would be to place the ground wire.
And also when I'm installing the deck, I don't have to bother taking off the negative terminal of the battery do I?

thanks in advance

 

could I just put a ring terminal on the ground wire and attach it to some metal screws in the back of the dash???

 

try it..im sure u can find a screw that is touching a part of the chassis

 

try it eh... Im looking for a little more confidence haha

I don't wanna end up with blown fuses somewhere

 

you should disconnect the battery if youre doing anything electrical. and a metal spot behind the dash will work fine for a ground.

 

alrite, I will do that. Thanks!

 

u know why i can't give u a straight answer? i never used the ground wire coming from my headunit..it's really, really, really weird. it works tho..i guess.

 

I guess the headunit casing is metal, and the gide rail thing is also metal, so its ok? But that doesn't really make much sense, but as long as it works, its all good

 

since the radio is bolted on to the brackets, and you're screwing it into the car wh ich is metal, the radio grounds itself. you don't have to ground the wire but if you wanted to, the bolt on the back of the dash will do fine.
