quick question

[jblaudio06]

yesterday i bought one of those police voice things you can talk outside your car with...i was wondering where can i go to get installed and how muchwould itcost

[quickdodge®]

You talking about a PA system? If so, they are easy as hail to install yourself. If you can't do it yourself, then most stereo shops will be able to handle that for you. Later, QD.

yea a pa system..is there any wiring i need to buy for it and does it need like somethin to play on like a speaker?

[quickdodge®]

Hmmmm. If you bought the complete system, you should have everything....mic/speaker/wires. If you can post a pic or post what you have. Later, QD.

[jblaudio06]

photos are from auction has everything excpet that red wire

Nice equipment, dude. You will need an antenna for the CB part. Not the PA part. I'd go to a truck stop and grab one from there. Or hail, check Ebay. That radio right there is a good, powerful one. For the PA, you will need to get a PA speaker. Check this auction, HERE!

Click the above link to see an Ebay auction on one. You can find those at all truck stop stations. As far as installation, I don't know. You'd have to call around to stereo shops to see if they do it and how much if they do. Or, you can talk to the people that run truck stops. They'd know. Later, QD.

And yes, you will only need the speaker. I'd definitely get the antenna, also. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

Yea, lolol. I did think about just advising that this is the wrong section, but for some reason, I felt like being helpful. It was an honest and not so stupid question, also. Later, QD.

Yeah i now alot of people with them, that hide the speaker in there egine bays where you cant see them! but i am pretty sure that they are illegal to have!!! meant for police use only!

[BanginJimmy]

I'm putting a PA system in my truck also. Dont really care if its legal or not. Its not like I'll be driving down the street talking shit with it.

Install is VERY simple. Power, ground and speaker is all it takes.

[jblaudio06]

alright im going to but the speaker at radio shack today and self installing it..its goin in a escalade...haha so sweet..i dont know about antenna yet it would look prob gay as shit but i def want that 2

[jblaudio06]

i got the speaker for it but i think i need a wiring harness 2....or can i hook itup to theamp wiring positive and negs


and wherecan i get a harness for it?

[BanginJimmy]

does the speaker have an amp on it? I know the set I am getting is just the radio unit and the speaker.

PA are not to be in use while the car is in operation. in other words dont drive around and talk on it.
