sorry this is kind of sloppy and my camera was dying so i only had a little bit of time to take pictures :crazy: i purchased the PA speaker from Radio Shack for $15 (make sure it's an outdoor speaker) and i bought everything else from FRYS electronics... all of this costed just under $100...
OK.. heres the picture of the antenna mounted on the front left portion of my bed... it feeds down a hole in he bed right below the antenna:

after feeding the wire down the hole i ran it along the emergency break cables (don't directly attach the wire to the emergency break cables... run it along something comfortably far from the emergency break cables, like me) and pardon my ugly zip-tying skills:

Here is the wire coming up right behind the front left fenderwell (ugly zip-tie again:
![]()
and here is the picture of it coming up from the fender well (the black wire, this is also under the hood):
![]()
then i fed the wire through the firewall (you can also see the PA wire in this picture):
![]()
And finially i hooked the wire up to the main unit which has a CB radio plug-in and also a PA output:
![]()
Now for the PA install
I ran the PA wire from the output on the main unit back out through the firewall (the same way i brought the CB radio wire in):

i then ran the wire down the side of the left wheel well:

then i mounted the actual PA speaker on the frame where there was a lot of clearance (right behind the bumper on the left side, notice the tow hooks) and then soldered the wires together):

Did you have to drill into the firewall or were you able to route the wires through an exsisting hole? The antenna mount is okay and I installed an antenna on a HD in the same location but I'm gonna relocate the antenna to the same location as the factory radio antenna but on the driverside.
