Im installing a CB radio in my car. Its a fairly simple install but the only thing im wondering is where to put the antenna and where to run the antenna wire through to the interior of the car. I dont wanna damage any of the weather stripping by running the cable through the door seal. I was wondering if anyone has used one of those antennas that goes through the windshield wirelessly?

 

I dont know how bad the skip is with CBs anymore its been 20 years since I was a huge CBer. I would suggest a trunk mount such as a K40 and run the antenna wire the same place as your speaker wires run.

 

Window Antennas are no good..


I want to put my CB in my 2006 Monte, but I can not find a nice place to mount the radio.

 

I thought about getting a Police scanner and mount it in there like maybe this one

maybe in that center console area under the radio i need to do measurments but I like the idea

 

let us know where you mount the antenna. i have thought about getting one but i don't like the look of the antenna sticking way up in the air i think it looks kinda tacky

 

Firestick Has a Little one.. Kinda Cheezy, but not as tacky as a big ole whip..

I had one on my old car.. Doesn't get out as far as a whip, but you can hear all the truckers just fine and talk to many of them..

I like the CB for finding out what's ahead on the interstate...

I just can't find a place inside of my 06 to mount a radio and Ihave already tried one of those psuedo handheld jobbies...

Thanks,
