CB radio cable

[kolelt]

I'm trying to install CB radio. And not sure what cable to get.

There is this one with round end
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000...i=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=cb+radio+cable
Or can you get a regular cable?
I also want to run it on passanger side to the back, behind the rear seats taking a 90 turn towards the driver side and out the cabin vent. Wondering if anyone has done this and what length they recommend? Is CB radio cable a regular cable like for cablevision ?

What kinda of Antenna setup are u running if your running a Fire stick that cable will work just fine...... Also the least amount of bend u make with the cable, the better your reception .... CB Coax cable is not the same as cable coax

I went with regular. It's more important that you get an 18 foot cord. I've seen both connection styles work fine.

Get the Firestik Firering cable that is 18'. Do NOT coil the cable to get rid of slack. This cable will make sure that your mount isn't going to interfere with the connection. Also make sure you get an antenna with a tuneable tip.

Getting the one you recommend me. Firestik 4' tune able tip.

So the firestik cable with round end is good ?

Anyone know what size amp fuse for this

Everything looks good, and is pretty much exactly what I used to run. I'm pretty sure that CB uses a 4 watt fuse too.

Thanks so 5 amp should do it ? I already have a wire running from the fuse box to the ashtray area

I just buy the cable with radio end you have to solder on, that way its custom fit, no slack.

Already ordered the cable

I was told by a radio shop you can make big sweeping non circular coils and tuck behind dash.

Where did you order the "adjustable" coax?

I used the firestik fire ring 18' cable and by the time I ran I it behind the rear quarter panel trim, under the rear & front door trim, and up the driver's side kick panel and across the dash to the cb it took up all the slack. I don't know how you'd have to run it to get multiple feet of slack to be honest. I got the one that you have to solder the coax connector, which allows easiest coax routing. Right Channel Radios has a good video on the available fire ring coax types.
