Hello all, I am planning on putting a CB in my truck soon and already have an external speaker (saw in radio shack for $2 couldn't pass it up) but I'm not sure where to put this thing. I searched and didn't find anything for just the speakers, saw a few pics of peoples cb's and you see there is a speaker. I'm looking for ideas as to where to put it, so let's see some pics of where you guys have put them, if you have them? Thanks and have a great weekend!
CB Radio External speaker

I don't have any pics, but I put mine in the passenger side foot well, pointing towards the driver.. works very well..
Unless its an external speaker(meaning so you can hear the CB when you're out of the truck) I don't really see the point. The two cheap CB's I've owned have had adequate internal speakers for inside the cab.
I have my PA mounted beside the air box intake. Inbetween the radiator and and intake horn. But then again that is a D1, I'm sure the D2 engine bay is slightly different. Mine took a little finessing but I was able to get it in there nice and tight-like.
I've filled my speaker nearly overflowing with mud then dumped it out and reinstall and works like a champ, still. I'm looking into a small amplifier to get a little more clarity and sound out of the speaker.
I just recommend covering it in panty hose to keep mud out, seems to being working well for me.

It is for inside the cab and I plan on using it for 2 things...1 the cb radio (may not need it I don't know yet but like I said it was 2 bucks so why not) and 2 to hook up to the garmin nav I have, the speaker on that is crappy and if I have music on I can barely hear it. So it's rock out to tunes and get lost or boring drive but get there.
Just snapped a quick cell phone picture of mine. Of course i don't have an interior though so a little different.
Hanging off the roof in front of the co-dawg seat. External speakers are amazing... so much more clear and louder than a built-in CB speaker.

How big is your external speaker? They make them in different sizes.
No pic handy, but I have one (since the internal speaker died in my CB) which is a little Uniden ESP5 which fits perfectly on the far left side of the top of the dash between the left side of the gauge cluster and the A-pillar.
It blends in pretty nice there, isn't in the way of any legs, arms, etc. and allows me to hear the CB outside the vehicle when the window is down.

My CB is mounted on the dash and works great. Except when I had super swampers and was crusing on the highway.

Just get a cb for everybody. You can all have handles it will kill time on the road trip
Here's a shot of my Uniden I mentioned before. The little CB and mic are visible on the side of the console.
