Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions Do your radios work on 6 volt systems or on positive ground systems? The sound output is all mid-range, with very little bass and a strangled-sounding upper range. What is wrong? No. Our radios are 12 volt, negative ground only. After-market converters and inverters are available but must provide at least 10 amps of continuous output. One of your speaker wires is connected backwards. This is called being “out of phase.
