random question but does the cb work better connected to the battery or to ur fuse box? and wat if water gets into ur pa speaker? sorry i dont have one im planin on gettin one tho
jus go to radio shack and buy a 12v adapter that can hook up a positive and negative wire to the back--it'll work better than hooking it to the battery or fusebox--less wire to run.
what is the name of the speaker and did you have to provide an external power source (such as the battery) or is it just the power from the 3.5 mm wire?
Red is positive hook it up to the positive side of your battery. And black is a ground hook it up to a bolt on the frame or the negitive side of your battery. I believe you dont need the orange wire but im not sure. Let me know if this helped.
hey man did you hook up a amp to the cb if so what kind becasue i have the same cb as you but have a 100 watt pa speaker and how did you connect it thanks
anthiny come on why didnt you demonstrate for us??? the point of us lookin at this video is because we wanna hear how it sounds! im fixin to put the same setup on my cavy and i wanna know how it sounds before i buy anything, btw could you tell me how that ultra III works for ya cuz i wanna know if its a good cb or not, i aint never usd the III yet nor do i know anyone who has. thanks, oh and id like to know what antennas your runnin on it.
The cb is powered off of my truck battery. The cb has two wires one goes to the possitive side of the battery and the other wire is your ground. Yes the speaker is powered off of the cb by a 3.5mm plug that goes in the back of the cb. NOT AMP IS NEEDED FOR THE SPEAKER TO WORK :)
no ground wire or power wire. just a 3.5mm jack goes into the back of the cb then split into two ones + and ones - and that goes to the speaker. the power and ground are already huck up to the cb.
Ill do the wiring for you lol! Thats messy looking

Go for the 12v adaptor over hardwire it's really easy to put on and take out of your car

Do you have to power the powerhorn seperate from the cb or does it just have to be wired to the cb?
