I didn't want to get in the business of isolating the stereo completely (eg if I hook up a neg ground stereo, I'll need to ensure none of the grounded parts of the body touch a grounded part of the spitfire). BTW, If I do isolate the stereo completely, why can't I just hook it up to (eg neg-neg lead off ignition, pos to body)? Why would I need a converter? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Eric - well, if you isolate the stereo by hooking the pos. and neg. leads directly to the battery you can run a neg. ground stereo system. A radio designed with a neg. ground will not run if you try to run juice thru the neg. lead and ground the pos. lead. Most people want the radio wired thru the accessory circuit. It you don't mind the possiblity that you can run the battery down by leaving the radio on, you can connect it direct to the battery. Just make sure you use a good quality fuse holder mounted very close to the battery to protect against shorts downstream. Ross D.
