The +12 power cable (probably the red wire) goes to the battery, preferably through a fuse. The ground (probably your "brown" wire) goes to the chassis of the car.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but your question reveals some pretty basic lack of knowledge. If you don't know how to do this, get some help. The best way to learn is by doing, but get someone who knows what they are doing to show you the ropes if this is your first time. The last thing you want is to damage something - or yourself.
