So where have you been mounting the CB's?

You will need to go to perhaps a Radio Shack, truck stop or go online and pick up a PA speaker and a external/remote speaker and a couple of jacks. When you plug in the remote speaker it will cancel out the speaker in the radio very much like plugging a headset into an ipod or phone. Pretty simple to hook up it's really plug and play. Mount the PA and the speaker, run some light gauge speaker wires, put the jack on the wire ends and plug them into the corresponding outlets on the back of the radio and you're good to go.I mounted my PA speaker behind the front bumper and flush mounted the remote speaker in the removable dash piece below the steering column in the knee blocker area. You can run the wire out to the engine compartment thru the gromett that is in the upper drivers side corner of the firewall near the master cylinder. Just take an awl or scribe and poke a small hole in the rubber and run the wire thru.

Thanks for the idea
Here's mine on my 2012 JKU. Mounted the CB with the Misch overhead tray center support and the Yaesu FT-8800R remote mount with the side support straps for the overhead tray. The overhead tray didn't work, couldn't get to the freedom top handle over the windshield hoop. Haven't decided where to put the ham base, probably under a seat. Posted this in response to the ham mount thread, thought it should go here too.
Going to use the Arizona Rocky Roads rear tire carrier mounts for the antennas and also the hood lip mount for the ham antenna and try out both ham antenna locations and see which one works out best.

Thanks for posting the pict's. That rocks how you tuck the mic wire out of the way. Then putting it in the clip locks it in place. That's so much better then having it dangle.

Cobra 75
This is how I installed the Cobra. The junction box is tucked in behind the console panel near the firewall and power is supplied via a splice from the accessory receptacle in the glovebox. Pretty simple with no drilling involved.
