Please keep in mind that I'm an idiot when it comes to electronics. With that in mind, how do I test the speaker? Also, there appear to be 2 grounds for the radio. One is from the frame to the right front fender well and the other is from the dash to toe panel. I can't find the one from the dash to toe panel, and the one under the hood has never been hooked up. I assume that I need to run my own ground. How would I do this? Do I just ground the radio case to the dash?
