I recently bought a HU for my '03 sentraand was wondering about the wiring for it.I bought a wiring harness that has groundwires for it but I heard that nissans have no ground???Should I just put the ground to the metal parts of my stereoand bolt them in then???

sorry i'm new to audio stuff -_-;;

Alot of people dont know that in the nissan wireing harness there is no ground wire (Black) BUT there is a ground and its actually the antenna that is the ground so if ur installing a radio and its not turning on plug in the antenna and it should work.

That ground is actually to act as a shield to the antenna signal. If you don't actually ground the radio your reception suffers for it.
