If you want to avoid any engine noise, run the ground back to the head unit ground point. (common point ground). If you attach it to the frame, there could be a potential difference.

SMD put a giant system in his 17' and he grounded it to the body where the seat bolts in. If a professional sound and sound testing hardware designer did that, I'd say you are fine.
