#13045, "Where to tap for CB radio power?"


          

I am planning on running a CB radio under my Pioneer head unit, in the factory "crap cubby". I am wondering where to tap power. Finding a ground is easy. It's finding the 12v that sucks, and I'm not really trying to run the shit all the way to the fuse box. I have 16ga scotch locks, some 16 ga wire, and 4 feet of wire attached to the cb radio. Any help would be appreciated. I am also wondering where to mount what kind of antenna to make it sort of not look like shit (my old truck had the antenna cable run out of the door at the bottom, up behind the truck cab, to the window, and looked like dookey). I don't really want to drill holes in the body, but I don't know if I can tuck it up in to the headliner, run it up between the sunroof weather stripping and out the top to the antenna, or if I have to drill.

If this post makes no sense, that's because it's 5:05 am, and I've been slaving away for 12 hours on my friend's diff in his trans am. 10 bolt to 9 inch swaps are a bitch.

I'm broke, it's broken. I'm broke because it's broken. It's broken because I'm broke.

why not jumper off of the radio harness or the cig lighter?

I tapped the cigarette lighter.
