When connecting a stereo is the 12V contant wire a connection to the battery?
Adion
yes a 12v constant is a wire that has 12 volts even with the ignition off, you should not have to run a new wire the existing stereo should have one for station memory. with the ignition off test all wires on the stereo connector, only one should have power.

How do you know if there is a problem with the positive wire to the battery?
I follow the following procedure:Visual inspection for breaks, corrosion, heat damage, kinks and damage to the connecting endsRemove the battery end and check on the connecting surfaces on the cable and batter and if applicable the connecting boltIf I suspect and hidden problem I take a Volt meter (Multy Meter and measure battery voltage at the battery terminals with a considerable load on the battery (starter if Possible), not the connectors or connecting bolts if at all possible. Then I check at the Starter stud under the same load. There should be less than .2 volts difference in the two readings.If the problem is to another load (stereo, head lights etc) I check the same wayjust using the wire that runs to that item and that item to provide the load for testing.
Do you connect the ground cable from your car to the ground cable from your stereo or connect the ground caple from the stereo to metal in your car and leave the other wire loose?
If your connecting a stereo, it's always best to ground directly to the negative side of the battery: however you can connect to a ground under the dash also. Some autos have a ground block at the fuse panel that can also be used but you will need a spade connector. your cars body is the ground.connect the stereo ground to a metal part of the car,leave the battery connected to a ground,engine should also be connected to a ground

did your old battery die because the alternator has a fault? if so your new battery may be flat, check cranking voltage at the battery if you can. if you don't have a volt meter see what happens if you turn on the head lights, stereo, heater fan etc at the same time, are the lights bright (battery ok) or dull (battery flat) other possibilities are a bad wiring connection, bad engine earth connection or faulty starter.
