do you have an external speaker for that?

 

U know it ... I know I wouldn't be able 2 hear N E thing with out it

 

what wattage is that inverter. If its over ~250 watts you definitely should trade up to a relay instead of just the switch, switch will be destroyed running that kind of amperage through it and either be stuck open or stuck closed

 

I need someone to help me wire up my cb....

 

Simple...ground your black wire...run your red to your battery or to an accessory spot in the fuse box...don't key it till you get an antenna...or you'll be buying a new cb

 

If you live close to me I can shoot over after I get off and help you or you can come over but that is how you do it

 

250 watts is only 21 amps. If you have a 30 amp switch you'll be fine, provided you gauged the wire right. Other wise them lil suckers might get a lil toasty

 

do you start that jeep with a spoon? ignition looks weird lol but cb looks good,no rattles? ill probably mount mine to front center like a big rig up high

 

you must not have seen many jeep steering columns, thats the newer double sided key version.

 

I really doubt that the autozone switch is 30A rated. Im only seeing 20A switches on their site. The peak wattage on a 350W amp is usually 600W+ so switch destruction is likely. I figure its always a good idea to use a relay on anything more than simple electronics.

 

My rental had the same.

 

I use a spork... Na its impossible to take the dash off with it on. I took it off a while ago and never put it back on ..... Lazy I guess

 

Ok so just to put your guys minds to rest. Its a 300 watt inverter. I have the link for the exact inverter i used on my build thread https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/my...-build-100478/
The inverter actually comes with a much smaller switch than the one that i put on. And since i increased the distance on the switch and outlets i used a substantially thicker wire to avoid voltage drop.

The thing to remember is that the car is only putting out 12 volts dc out of the cigarette lighter its the capacitors and resistors in the inverter that are bringing it up to 110 volts ac. So you can get away with almost any switch because its cutting the power in not power out.

Also as an added safety the unit has a built in fuse incase it gets to much power to it.

I'm probably going to be putting in a larger inverter for the back of the car if i don't end up doing a sound system but we'll see. I'll keep you posted.

 

Totally Beautiful Jeep!

 

Thanks alot still working hard on it I can't believe it's only been 2 months and its gone through alot of changes
