Just got an external speaker for my CB because I couldn't hear it on the highway. I was just wondering where other people had put their speaker? I have a Uniden ESP20:

I need to get one of these. I would probably put it on the dashboard next to the A-pillar on the driver side. That might block your view though. If it does then put it on the roof.

I had an external speaker mounted to the soundbar on my YJ. don;t have one for the XJ as the CB is dash mounted. However , if I were to give any advice it would be this:

mount is somewhere where it has "line of sight to your ears". Anywhere else and you might as well save your cash and just mount the damn cb there.

i have 2 wired in together and i put one under each seat. i didnt want to drill or bolt anything to the floor so i just used some thick wire and tide each speaker under there. i used one strand on one side of the speaker and then one on the other. i ran them through a gap under the seat mounts and tide them so they sit in the middle where they wouldnt get hit or snagged when moving the seat
