Ok so I have a '98 Frontier KC and mounted my CB transmitter where it will be and now I need to buy an antenna for it and run that through the back wall and to my toolbox mounts. The question though is how should I wire this: I want to mount a Selenium driver with a long cone (PA) under my hood and have a switch on my dash that allows me to flip between having music from my headunit play through the PA, have an off position in the middle, and then another position where I can flip to PA mode from my CB (Cobra 19 Ultra III) and talk through it's mic so it goes out the PA. Does that make sense? I think it's a 6pin switch I need, no? And what should it be rated at and what gauge wiring do you recommend etc?

Thanks!

You want something like this?

Amazon.com: PYLE PHSP12K 10.2-Inch Indoor/Outdoor 70 Volt 55 Watts PA Horn Speaker: Electronics


I think you just need to switch the inputs. One from a radio speaker and the other from the CB (Which I don't think has audio out ?!?! )

just so you know, this WILL sound like crap. a PA speaker is not designed to reproduce the freq's like normal audio speakers are. also, the PA speakers is something like 8ohms and 12w. i would suggest 100% against this.

That's what I'm getting. It's at 8ohms with 150 watts. I'll run a bass blocker too it so it is all highs and then it will sound good for music. Trust me my friend has one and it sounds great but he doesn't have it set up how I'd like it to where it's through a CB and headunit.

Anyone know how to wire those three to the switch?

What about something like this - Terk® 4-Way Audio/Video Selector - RadioShack.com

Just splice the RCA's and connect them to your Radio and CB ..

I'd rather do it with something like this to install it into the little accessory port to keep it as small and stock looking as possible.
