Anyone have a CB in their truck and where did you put it. I am thinking about either a Cobra or a Uniden. Any experience with these?

: CB radio misery-tom 11-23-2005, 07:50 PM cobra and uniden are really the same thing, just differant look, if you open up a cobra CB, the circut board inside is actually made by uniden lol Hercules 11-23-2005, 08:03 PM Hmmm...that's interesting. But they both have a PA switch, so I guess if I buy a horn for it and wire it to the CB I could have a PA coming outta my hood? And would I need to buy a seperate CB antenna? LDOTITAN 11-23-2005, 08:14 PM Yes, you need a seperate antenna. Other members have installed them, so they should answer soon. If not, go here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/594790/1. There should be pics of his ride with a CB mounted on the passenger side of the center console. Crazy_Steve 11-23-2005, 08:35 PM This is how I'd mount my antennas...when I get a CB. Thx chasenme for the pic. LDOTITAN 11-23-2005, 09:49 PM The only problem with mounting them this way is the transmit part of those types of antennae is in the base and would be obstructed by the bed. They guy I posted a link about I believe had his antenna mounted on the tool box. misery-tom 11-24-2005, 05:52 AM also with those type of antenna's when u have 2 they need to be a minimun of 4 feet apart. and yes you can put a PA speaker under the hood. dont get more than a 5 watt speaker, or it wont be loud enough to hear it lol Hercules 11-24-2005, 09:25 AM Where would you guys suggest be a good place to get the speaker and the antennaes? Thanks for the info!! misery-tom 11-24-2005, 09:44 AM id put the speaker behind the grille, the ant.'s are really up to u, there are so many types, you'd have tp ick one, and go from there, personally, id get a wilson 1000 mag mount, and put it on the roof, thats the best transmit point on any vehicle. like i said there are just too many types and too many places to mount em, pick your antenna, then come back and ask the mounting question lol Hercules 11-24-2005, 11:06 AM Thanks for the input, I'll let you guys know. But it won't be till after Christmas cause I am asking for the CB as a gift. I'll keep ya'll posted misery-tom 11-24-2005, 11:29 AM we'll be waiting lol luigi'smada 07-12-2006, 04:21 PM Hmmm...that's interesting. But they both have a PA switch, so I guess if I buy a horn for it and wire it to the CB I could have a PA coming outta my hood? And would I need to buy a seperate CB antenna? well ?? any updates on this ?? i want to have the PA system, dont really care for the cb radio so i will most likely not install antena on my set up but will someone shred some light on this please.... Thank you !!

Thank you !! Luigi Under cover siren works real well too!!!(they get wired right into the horn ring) plus you can get one with the electric air horn... Really cool!!! Just wait till a blue hair cuts ya off and you get to buzz em with the air horn!!! (big{huge}smile) Just make sure to take the selcetor knob off so you don't accidentally turn on the siren. luigi'smada 07-17-2006, 12:55 AM umm i got confused there...but, basically all i want to be able to do is talk to people = read ...curse them mofos... !! outside the vehicle without having to roll down my windows nor scream my lungs off... i got a cobra cb radio from my brother and i juat have to get the speaker so i can start ''communicating'' my feelings to other fellow drivers on the road !! lol Luigi | ||
