I need information on how to install a head unit, and amps in this vehicle. This vehicle has a positive ground, what do I need as far as relays, and etc. go? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

To install standard negative ground equipment, you'll have to start with these (or units like them.)

keep in mind tho most polarity invertors sold are fairly low amperage devices 5-10 amps max....they are not designed to be used in multi-amp applications

Are you sure this is a positive ground, I've worked of 70's and 80's and they were negative, didn't relized that they went back to the old way.

Yes, that one had me wondering too. I did some research and it turns out that Jags were built with BOTH positive ground systems and with neg. ground systems through 1995. 1993 was the first year of the Ford/Jaguar joint venture (with Ford buying 30% of Jaguar in 1990) and the cars were built both ways depending on where they were being sold. Interesting.
