The outer conductors on your RCA cables are a supply of ground.

It is using the case as a ground.
it has the ground wire as a safety so it'll keep working

exactly what sparky said, and if the amplifier is cranked up, the ground will seem to the radio as a positive and fry the RCA ouputs on the radio if not the radio itself.

yes it's going to burn the preamp part of the amplifiers or the radio because it's taking ground from the rca jacks
