Haven't done it (yet) but from some of the posts I have seen.
1. Under the steering wheel. Non-Infinity sound systems are easier since there isn't an amp.
2. Someone quite a few posts ago found one small enough to fit in the roll bar. He or she took out the corner foam piece, cut out a notch for the speaker and put the velcro cover back over it. That one is kind of neat because it is almost like a headphone speaker in the dribers left ear.
3. CB with front firing speaker instead of up or down firing. If you can mount it pointing at you is half the battle.
Now for a few guesses...
1. Cut out the roll bar speaker box and put one there.
2. If your H/U has a 3.5mm input jack you could just plug it in there and select the AUX port.
Like I said I haven't put one in yet but I just got my CB running a few hours ago.

There seems to be plenty of room under the hood...

yeah there seems to be room just not a great place to mount it. Just wanted to see if anyone else had some great ideas but i guess not many are running a PA. Thats interesting running it to the AUX input though....

In fact, I built an A/B switch box so I could plug both the CB and my iPod into the Aux jack at the same time. With the switch, you can choose your input source. I used it for all of 1 day and then threw it in to the glovebox.
Plugging the PA output on the CB into the AUX jack would probably fry something.. LOL I think the PA output puts out more than the 3w the external jack does.
