No ground... still worky...
Alpine 7897. figured out the wiring. put the deck in. before I put my ground on, I accedentaly pressed the open button. and the deck open'd and turned on. as well as played music! but there was no ground connected and the deck was sittin on my shifter so the casing wasnt grounded. hows this happen?

Not grounding equipment correctly can kill it.

Through the antenna is ok but I would still ground it properly just to be safe and make it look good
