Hi Tony the easist place for the positive is the cig lighter. For the negative just bolting the unit underneath the speaker grille will earth it for you.

There will be two power leads coming out of it, but the radio itself earths to the vehicle (as Graham said).  The second wire is for the light in the radio dial and should be attached to one of the dash-lights or the light switch itself.
