If you own a CB radio, you will probably want to find out how to hook it up to your vehicle. CB radios usually come with an unprocessed power line, which includes a hot wire and ground wire. While this may seem easy enough, figuring out how to get power to your CB radio can be a tricky process. Fortunately, there are several different ways to hook up a CB radio, depending on your ability and electrical knowledge.
The first step in establishing a CB radio hook up is to connect the radio to your car’s battery. A wire that connects to the battery is called a coaxial cable. Make sure that the coaxial cable is the same size as the original CB stereo wire. You can also use a solid connector to cover any exposed connections. You can purchase a power antenna from any auto parts store and follow the instructions on the box.
Once you have found a CB radio, the next step is to install the antenna. An antenna should be attached to the roof, preferably in the middle, so that you have easy access. The mic should also be placed close to the face to prevent accidental muffling. An entangled mic cord can be a safety hazard when driving. If you purchase a set that includes a mic, be sure to attach it to the antenna and hook up the microphone.
