CB PA speaker

[cveklund]

I want to put a pa speaker on my cb. Radio Shack has a pa 100w for 40 bucks but it needs an amp What kind of amp do I put on it or does anyone have any other suggestions for a pa setup?

Thanks,
Chris

Try it with the CB first, it probably does not need an amp.

Check out walcottcb.com That is where I got my PA spearker and wire from. They have everything CB related. Great place.

does the pa work like a megaphone, or just a pa for the cb speaker?

It works like a loud a$$ megaphone. Like when a cop uses his speaker from his car when yelling at people. I have no horn and use it for that as well as to yell at the war protesters who are out every weekend in town.

At 930 pm , with teenage girls in a crosswalk walking in front of your truck , its going to be fun to scare them

yeah i thought so, i have it on mine, just need to get a speeker, but my buddy was convinced that it was for the cb, even though i told him there was an external speeker jack for that too

Plug it into the cb. Park the truck where you can see it. Turn the squelch way up and put it on a high channel. Watch from another truck with a cb. Bark at people that pass by.

I have the one from Radio Shack hooked to my CB with no amp and it works fine.

Thanks guys, I hooked it up with no amp and it is plenty loud for what i want. The scarring the crap people is what gave me the idea as my friend has on> I just bought the radio shack special for 25.

Thanks, Chris
