Does anyone have a link for a how to wire a cb radio? What's the best way to wire it? Directly to the battery?

Thanks

Give this a look below. I ran my power into the fuse box like the write-up. I'm not that technically inclined either, but it was fairly easy. I just went and bought one of the spade connectors, with an extra port, plugged my radio fuse into it as well as the CB, then plugged the new spade connector (with both the radio fuse and CB fuse plugged in) into the "radio" fuse spot within the fuse box. That way, if you can listen to the radio, then you can use your CB. Not needing to actually have the truck running, nor draining your battery if you accidentally leave it on.

Anyway, hope the write-up explains it better, as it walked me through my installation.

This should assist with the antenna mounting as well.

And of course, if you'd rather connect the power to the battery....
