It sounds like your asking can you ground the radio to itself? I would say no if thats what your asking. You need to find a good spot under or behind the dash. A piece of dash mounting bracket or even something close to the floorboard. If you look aroung under there you may even see places where the factory has a few gounds. Those would also be ok places to ground.

Your HU case should be at ground potential, so depending on what you're talking about it won't hurt anything. What "ground lead" are you thinking of connecting here? ------------- Support the12volt.com

oh yes Im sorry , I miis understood you earlier. You CAN indeed hook up to those same factory wires to the new radio. They should serve the same purpose.

Are you asking if you can replace your front 4 inch speaker with a 6X9. If so shame on you :) Its not a good Idea at all. If you want to go bigger stay with a round speaker and mabye do kick pods or something to that end
