as long as it's grounded to unpainted metal attached to the chasis, and away from any lines carrying a lot of power, then you're fine.

Though I've never heard of distortion through the ground wire for the DECK. Every time my deck in the past has had a ground problem, the power kept cutting in and out. But yeah, just find a nice clean metal surface.

turning the knob up to high is whats giving u the distortion. not yoru ground, bad ground will genearlly cause power problems, or it will induce noise to the system noise such as alternator whine or other buzzing sounds, but i have never heard of it causing distortion.
