The green and black wires go to the 2 connections on speaker. Separate ground wire should get attached to radio housing from your 12 volt source. Last edited by buildanother; 02/10/12 06:04 PM.

There doesnt seem to be anywhere else for a seperate ground wire to connect. looks like face power, radio power and neg/positive for speakers only. Four total.

Radio is also grounded through the outer shield of the antenna wire.. Just my $0.02...
