Clear as mud. 8^)
The above works until you connect your average antenna. (Bzzzzap! !@#$%^&*) Get
it? 8^(
The only SAFE way to have a radio in a positive ground car is to buy a positive
ground radio.
Otherwise, the procedure requires that you BUY a polarity converter for the
Radio,
and utilize speakers, and an antenna that are electrically isolated from the
chassis. All of this is certainly simple enough...... until you forget to
placard
the vehicle and tell the next owner what you've done.
Buy a positive ground radio. ;^)
