another cb thread
i bought one of the cheap cobra cb's at walmart and i was thinking that i would mount it underneath the ashtray. i was curious as to which wires were there to use for power. ive been researching past threads and couldn't really find a straight answer. am i gonna have to cut and splice a power wire of some kind? if i choose to run a wire from the battery.. what size fuse do you think i might need? i was also wondering what everyone did with the walkie talkie thing(techincal term). pics of applications, install, wiring options would all be appreciated!!! thanks for any help!
*EDIT*- is there any retail store i.e. pep boys, best buy circuit city, 4 wheel parts, or anywhere that stocks firestik antennas?? if so how much do they usually run?

about $22 for a 4 foot firestick.
I don't really know how the ohv engine compartments are.....but the engine fuse panel....there's two covers. Take the smaller one off. there's two studs and there's constant power off there, that's where I pull power for my electrical accesories. for a cb, a 10a fuse should be fine.

Let us know if that location would work with the manual....that's where I plan on mounting mine.
