Hello,

As the subject line implies -- I am installing a deck into an '02
camaro convertible and am wondering if anyone knew the best place to
ground it?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Depends, dude. Is it a wood deck or a concrete deck?

With a wood deck, you should drive a 3 foot copper spike into the dirt and
connect it with braided copper wire. The length of the wire will depend on
how far you want to drive. If it's a concrete deck, you can ground it to a
big piece of rebar, depending if you have big enough footings...

I agree' Use rebar on the copper as mentioned before.

Perhaps you could just use a Wiring harness adapter and connect the wires
color for color.
It uses the factory ground.
