CB RADIO INSTALLTION

Any install an CB?? Ok I know I'm suppose to hook it up the the Acessories on coming from the fuse box but where the hell is that. I bought this thing used so I don't have the actual instructions. Its an Cobra 40 Channel, I also bought and 1000 Channel Trunk Mount Scanner to keep a tab on local and state authorieties. HEHE.

Anyone know where I should be pluging in the power wires, 13.8V. Any help would be apericated. Thanks.

The fuse box is above your left knee if you're sitting in the driver's seat. The fuse is labeled.

Yee haw.

I know where the fuse box is, but is there a lead, or do I plug it into the back of the box.

I also have recently installed a cb in my 91 z28. I was wondering where you mounted it and how you ran the wires? I have a dash mat on my dash so I bought hhok and loop fastners (SUPER velcro) from radio shack. A small peice on the bottom of the cb hold it on the dash fine. By putting it there i covered the speaker on the cb. To over come that i bought an extension speaker and used the same super velcro and put the speaker on the lip on top of the am/fm radio console. I had a total of 5-6 or so wires exposed from the back of the cb to the openeing in the dash mat. To cover them I used the spilt tubing, also from radio shack. I ran the wires under the dash mat to the drivers side of the dash, and then down the side to underneath were the fuse box is. (again covered exposed wires with split tubing.) For the antenna wire (wilson 1000) I ran the wires though the top of the hatch, and inside the plastic molding along the top, behind the rear seats, and then along the plastic molding that runs along the bottom of the door, and up towards the tubeing going to the radio. So how you do yours?
