Is this a physical connection to the battery terminal, or can I make this in the fuse box under the hood?

Well, I never remove the battery on when I did it as I know what I do when it come to car, but I did remove the SRS/air bag fuse cuz you never know what you accidentally do/touch.

I've seen this warning a few times in the Chilton book. I think I'll play it safe and disconnect the ground.

Also, any suggestions on grounding? I know anything connected to the frame should work, but I'm curious what most people do for this.

Thanks for the reply. This is definitely encouraging and it seems like this is a doable project. I may actually buy a barebones system from mp3car.com to support the forums. It seems like a better deal than what mini-box.com was offering.

Thanks,
James
