CB Radio Talk

I contacted that friend of mine this morning that has the radio i'm getting . Well it's suppose to be here in a few day's anyway we got to talking and i found out this radio will do 150 watt's barefoot and it's never been used . But he has missed placed the power cable so i've got to find one online or order from RA . Anyway the reason why i'm getting this radio is his tech opened my cobra and seen the board was cracked not even able to be fixed . So now i'm waiting for my RCI to get here and wait for a cable so i can KNOCK MUDDUCKS DOWN lol .

Well my new radio should be here any day now .....I've decided to hook my galaxy up for a base . But i'll have to look for a good antron and use rg-8 . But since the galaxy swings 40 watt's i won't need a big amp for skip .

i want to say thanx for you'r input on that RCI . it should work fine for my truck set up .

Sounds like you're gonna be having some fun purdy soon oknaz.

LOL you know it huh .....I've got this crazy idea of tapping onto my main stereo amp power wire to run this RCI . I think the wire is big enough to handle my stereo amp and the RCI . If i'm not mistaken the size is 4 ga it would have to be to power up a 1,000 watt amp . I just don't want a bunch of wires coming off the battery and making a huge mess . All i have for now is the 10 Ga for my galaxy and 4 Ga for my amp . Onlything i notice on the Alt drop is the A/C and that's normal . But when i kick the amp on it's not much more of a drop .

Just a note: Since I cant listen to my stereo anyway when I am on the radio I used a junction block to split my sub amp power ( Which is 4 gauge ) to go to the sub amp and the 2X4. Works well and solved the problem since I have 3 seperate 4 gauge wires already comming into my cab.

Yep. Those distribution/ junction blocks help a lot. Thats how I had my radio and amp going to the battery with just 1 main wire. A lot easier and cleaner to me.

i've never even thought about a distrubution block but after reading the last post i might think about getting 1 . That way i'm not adding more wires to my battery plus it'll look cleaner . Those wiring kit's aren't cheap i've priced them the other day . Price goes with the amount of wattage you want i think the lowest is 300 and up to 1700 . But the best brand is Street Wires or Quest both handle good current and they have different color's .

Walmart has a kit that has everything you need. Its about $30 I think and its a Scosche brand. Thats what I used.
