Are you saying not to ground to chassis at all? What do you mean by funny things?

You can ground to the chassis. If you ground your 12v seperate from your 16v you can experience ground loops, pops, flutter, etc. It's ok to have your 12v ground and 16v ground attached at the same point. I always chassis ground my battery bank regardless.
