Oh that a loud one. You'll be fine with it in under the hood. You should of said that before. Mine is only a 11w one I'm but its also thru my cb also.

How well it will be heard will depend most of all on the wattage of the PA System then the rating of the speaker & placement. 100w will be good and the closer you can get it to the grill the better. For Law Enforcement we placed our speakers in the front and at a slightly downward angle so the siren/radio would reflect off the pavement somewhat. This was in unmarked cars, if you shop around you can pick an old siren/PA with a remote head for $25-$50 depending on how nice they are they are mostly 100w units some higher. When you find one try to pickup a good speaker also they are expensive for a good one.

And I think it's 100 watts. It's plenty loud I'll tell you that! You can here words clearly to about 200 yards and then is get kinda distorted after that. But things like sirens and stuff are loud and clear up to about 300 yards

I recently installed a cb with a pa. It's a cobra. It says it puts out 4 watts of power so I got a 25 watt pa. If I get a 100 watt pa will it make a difference? I called cobra and they said it wouldn't make a difference, but they could be wrong
