Default CB Radio Power

Okay, I have searched through the threads and even done a couple of different searches using the search function. I just can't seem to find anything on where everyone is running their power from for their CB radios. Does anyone have any ideas and as always, pics would be nice as well.

Thanks for any and all help and advice.

I need to install a cb and I plan on installing a 6 fuse block under the dash coming off of the battery it will have power at all time so will have to be sure to shut cb off. You might try that

Thank you for the replies. I was wondering if there is a better place to get power from inside. If not, where is the best place to run the wires through into the engine compartment area to the fuse block?

Thanks again

most cb "enthusiasts" run them straight to the battery.
