    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.

    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.

    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! for that. Later, QD.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
