Any CB Radio Recommendations? PA Speakers? Antennas?

[Mr Castulucci]

Hey Everyone,

I am thinking of installing a CB radio in my 2003 4Runner. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as far as what kind of unit to purchase.

I want to make sure that I buy high-quality components. I was thinking of getting the Cobra 29WXNWST radio. Does anyone have any experience with it? Having external PA capability is very important!

Speaking of, does anyone have any recommendations on how to install a PA speaker, or what kind of speaker to buy? I want something under the hood. I have quite a bit of room in there, now that I've installed the K&N Filter

I'm also going to need an antenna. I want to mount it so that I can remove the antenna without much of a problem, so I might go with the under the hood lip-mount that some people have proposed. I'd also be interested in mounting it near the rear bumper. If anyone's done that, please let me know! I'm curious

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

I just wanted to cross reference this article in case anyone else is looking for info: CB Antennas

I'm also including these words as search terms (since searches have to be at least 3 letters):
Citizens Band
Public Address

Pointless post, I know. I just want to facilitate the "findability" of this one.

I'm putting the CB on hold for a little while. I might get one over the summer, but we'll see
