I finnaly ran 2 ten gauge wires from my dad's truck into the engine compartment. I put 2 20 infuses ( 1 for + 1 for -). We Are going to have it proffessionaly attached to the battery, as the engine computer needs constant power all the time. My mom says she will let me do the same thing to her's!!! I will try and take pictures and post them. Yay!!! |

You only need 1 in-line fuse on the +ve supply.
Keep the other for your mom's. |

Fusing the negative is a long standing tradition with professional two-way radios. It is only effective when the radio ground is floating. I am probably safe in guessing that CB radios do not use a floating ground. |

Back in the early 60's cb sets HAD floating grounds. Some cars were POSITIVE ground some were 6 volts. Today there would be little reason to build a set that way.......... unless you drive a 32 chevy! |
