Ive been searching for a CB radio that will fit in the DIN slot under the CD player, like the Cobra 18 WXST II, but also has PA capabilities. I am aware of the small CB's w/ PA's that can be mounted in the ash tray location, but I am not really interested in going that route. Ive searched everywhere but havent found anything. I would appreciate any recommendations.

I have the corbra 18 WXST II mounted on my glove box near the bottom and i haven't had any problems with people legs not fitting
got a pic if that would change your mind, but its too large to post. if you want it email me @ [email protected] and i will send you the two pic i have of it installed in the dash.
one last thing, i just check the pdf file for the corbra 18 WXST II and it has a speaker out jack in the back.B.
Rear Panel
1. Antenna Connector. This female connector permits
connection of the transmission line cable male connector
to the transceiver.
2. External Speaker. The External Speaker Jack is used
for remote receiver monitoring. The external speaker
should have 8-ohm impedance and be rated to handle
at least 4.0 watts. When the external speaker is
plugged in, the internal speaker is automatically disconnected.
3. Power: This cable is permanently attached to the radio.
If you wish to remove the radio after installation, disconnect
at fuse holder and ground connector.

It didn't. I could cut out the back of the pocket and slide it in further. That was supposed to be a temporary cb. lol

Man, got this brand new FAQ and Knowledge Base and nobody wants to use it!hawaiianbro said:
Here are some different mounting solutions for cb's found in the new FAQ:
CB Mounting Solutions
Ive got a Cbora 25 NWST, so the install that Tacozilla did is exactly what I would need to do. Im still a little bit skeptical about cutting into my AC piping, as this is still my daily driver. I may have to do it anyway, that install looks really good.

Cutting into your a/c line??? I have a huge radioshack CB and all i had to do was take a dremel to a small part of my bottom left and right stereo mount. That CB fits in there so tight and looks good too. Check out that faceplate I made on my computer! I got my CB at a garage sale for $5.00, I mean what a deal. Now I have to figure out where I should mount my mic?
You didnt happen to take any measurements of the CB before you installed it did you? That looks to be the exact same width as the Cobra 29 WX NW ST, but much shorter. I am amazed that a CB that wide is short enough to fit in the dash.
