the infinity deck grounds through the antenna, you dont need the brackets but i guess it doesnt hurt to try it if i were you id hook the radio up in another ecluipse and see if it even works, sounds to me like the radio might have gotten fried somehow, also you should take that 30a fuse out i have a 10a in mine and it ran the infinity fine if you have a fuse poping chances are something aint right a bigger fuse is just gonna cause a bigger problem, dont need your wires melting, but id say b4 you pull all your hair out and go nutz over this 1st make sure the radio works its really simple to hook up and from what you said so far you should be good to go
