I want a PA system

I honestly could care less about the phony sirens and crap. i just wanna flirt with the cute girl in the car next to me. any suggestions? im taking clarity, volume, and price in consideration... and once I find one, ill be looking for suggentions on where to put the speaker in my first gen...

 

location: under the hood pointing down
price: idk
brand: dont know brands but look into the types they use in schools or firehouses, those are loud, the more wattage, the louder they are

 

hey im thinking about selling my pa/full cb radio setup.its a nice cb,with the loudest pa speaker radioshack has,and a cb antenna,its really loud in my 1st gen.let me know

 

sounds simple enough... only thing is i want it somewhere where i wont screw up the speaker if it gets drenched...

 

Radio shack sells the PA speakers and any cb radio will power it. I was an idiot and payed 200 bucks for 2 dumbshits to install my pa and wiring for it to go out a year later, still cant figure out what went wrong, probably gonna have to rewire it myself

 

Here's my set-up:

CB/PA Radio:

and i'm using this PA speaker:

Yup, it's LOUD..

My speaker is behind the front bumper.. I had a smaller speaker before in the engine bay and it was definitely not as loud.

 

Get right to the point..and get Super G points.

You can customize the images or message...and, and best of all....
"You can do it when you driving"!

 

How are you guys hooking these up? i tried splicing the wires out of the output 3.5mm jack on my cb then to the pa speaker and its not work?? do i need an amplifier or something?

 

the 1 i have is the powerhorn from radioshack and its an outdoor speaker so water is no problem

 

I 100% reccomend it. I put a 100watt, weatherproof outdoor speaker ($26 at Radioshack) and just used a stereo extension cable and plugged it straight into the back of my CB (obviously where the PA exit is) and it is loads of fun just screwing with people. I mounted mine on the frame pointing down, right behind the bumper and the only flaws, I should have put some heat shrink on the connections and hooked it up to an amp of some sort. Loads of fun though, be careful of the law, they tend to pay a little more attention to you and catch you in the act, if its legal near you then no worries.

 

I'm definately interested... before i get serious about it though, i just got a few questions, can you still use it as a CB radio as well without amplifying it through the loudspeaker?

 

and i'm well aware i could get in trouble for it haha. i dont intend to... ill use it with caution, but here in newport news, va, there isnt much to do that is legal haha

 

Hahaha. the best.

 

haha I totally hear you, outside of boston, absolutely nothing. All I have to do is say, "hello!" to someone and they get mad (yea people are that snobby here), then you get my buddies screaming at kids on their bikes until they fall off, theres no stopping the fun!

 

So i bought my cb. i got a cobra 19 ultra III from walmart and i bouth the 50w-rms 100w-max all weather speaker from radio shack. now i need an antenna. i was thinking about the small cheap glass antennae, but something with a little more range would be nice. i dont wanna drill anything in my roof, and i dont want a huge redneck lookin antenna. possibly some bed mount ideas? so im looking for producs and pics of ideas of where to put the antenna

 

Oh to be a teenager again when PA's were cool...

You will grow out of it.

 

They were ever cool?

 

lol yeah in high school everyone had them...then we all realized they were kinda worthless. Not to mention you look like a tool shouting a people through a loudspeaker.

 

thanks for the help guys lol. but besides the point that im a kid. got any suggestions?

 

Must be a Southern thing, no one had them here. Seems kinda tool-ish to me.
