re the "boom box" method: you're pretty safe in most cases, but way
back when I was loathe to perforate my car to put in an antenna, I
used a small cassette player with a 12v-9v converter out of the cigar
lighter. Problem was, the cassette player had a metal case, and when it
slid over and touched the brake handle... BBZZZZZZTTTTttttt t t t.......
That was the end of the voltage converter! I never could convince the
guy that it was defective and I should have my money cheerfully refunded!
The cassette player survived, but it was interesting that no fuses blew...
