I'll get a picture later, but I have a cheap Radio Shack external, about 2 1/2" square, that I perched on top of the driver's side tweeter (on the dash).

With the speaker placed on top, and the wire run down the side of the dash, the tension on the wire keeps the small speaker in place without any other attachments.

The speaker is not great, but the output from the CB is strong enough that I can hear the little speaker over the stereo no problems.

basically wire the leads into an 1/8th inch mini-jack and connect it directly to the radio. Did that to the dash speakers in my old YJ

I velcroed and duck taped mine to soundboard behind drivers seat. That way I can hear it going down the highway with top off. works great.

The velcro strips wasnt enough to hold them over time,but the duct tape with the velcro hasn't came loose in 2 yrs. I just spliced in some extra wire too.
