    4watt 8 ohm pa speaker. Will get it tomorrow. Will see how load it is. Gonna use it on the trails to communicate with a spotter if need be. Instead of yelling. Talk through it.

    It's was around 800.00. To modify to cb and tune up and clean it up. The antenna is a siro roof mount. Nice little setup. But when wheeling gonna unhook the roof mount from cb and use the 3ft firestick.

    I'm running a cobra 29 lx le 50th anniversary edition, the only reason I'm running one that nice is because I was at a cb shop and someone had just bought a $700 cb and decided to literally just give me their old one
