Mine was only so-so (albeit adequate on the trails) when I had an antenna that would still clear my garage. Seems to work great now that I have an antenna reaching about 18" above the roofline. Don't even need to use the Aux if everything is tuned and installed correctly. No complaints when everything is done properly.

Same here....I have no complaints. It's loud enough for what I need, looks good, stores easily, and I have my firestick high above my roofline. And it's tuned in properly. I really like the fact it quick disconnects for when not in use. And the range is great. Clarity is great too for me so far.

I installed my Cobra 75 almost exactly as the OP with one exception...I didn't want to wire mine directly to the battery because I didn't want the CB to be left on accidentally and drain the battery. So I went to Autozone and bought an "add a fuse" or fuse tap and wired it into fuse slot M37 in the fuse box next to the battery. I also cut a small slot out of the fusebox so the lid will close with the wire going into it. See pics below...

Why oh why, do I keep coming on to these threads and looking at all these bad A$$ installs of cool stuff. Now I have to have the Cobra 75 mounted up like this. This has to be the most expensive Web Site in the World. It's a good thing Jeeps have good re-sale value, my accesories and mods are already creeping up on my MSRP.

)? When i wired my second battery solenoid they had me tap some pink stripped wire that's under the fuse box a real PITA. I've since removed it and been w/o the second battery. Not wanting to muss up that pink wire any more than i did.
