Anyone install a CB radio?

[Shockwave199]

I searched quite a bit but couldn't come up with anything. Installing a CB isn't really the question- any car can have one. My question is- has anybody done so with a decent and/or creative mounting job- pics too maybe? I also run an amplifier- up to 400 watts. Shhhhh- don't tell Anyone have trouble pushing that kind of wattage in their sport fit, or have you upped the altenator?

I'm not expecting much info here about this, but I figured I'd see. The one thing I'll miss in my clunker-for-fit is my long range talkin CB!

I bet with some velcro you could fit one under the seat, but that doesn't do much for looking at the display. It'd be fun to have, if someone has pics post 'em up!

yeah def post pics if you install it! I've only had one car with a CB radio..it was a 1977 Caddy Sedan Deville...and it was a factory install (option in 77).

My dad had that same thing on a 78 Eldorado. Was part of the HU if I remember right and had controls on the mic

I haven't quite figured out how to approach this in the fit yet. Thank you for that link, btw. I have a Cobra 148 and a 400 watt amp, with a Wilson 1000 antenna. It's a serious rig for long talking- not just local traffic stuff. I think I'd bring the battery to it's knees. And the radio itself isn't small. I don't want to do a permanent mount of the antenna either, nor do I want to sacrifice the paint for my magna mount. All things considered, I'm holding off for now. The radio has been fairly dead for quite a while, so it seems I'm not missing much anyway.
