Hey sorry...another dumb question. All of my friends are getting cb's for their cars and i cant be left out in the dust:D . My question isnt really about the cb, but more of an audio question. The cb has an external speaker jack to run an 8 ohm speaker. I have an auxilliary input on my car stereo and i thought it would be cool to be able to plug it in there and hear things through my car speakers. I have looked around and everything is saying it is ok to do this but the volume will be messed up. Is it ok to do this or should i blow it off?

What Kind of Jack is it?
Is it Running Mic Level Line Level Dc Level or Ac level out?
Does it have a built in Amplifier?

Srry i have no idea about any of this but i know it has a 3.5mm plug and ya it has an amp cuz there is a small internal speaker. Im lookin at the midland 1001z right now if that helps. Thanks.

CB? Welcome to the 80's/90's.
The external speaker output is already amped... I wouldn't connect that to your aux input, or you'll risk frying the input.

It puts out 3 line level watts at 8 ohms No do NOT I repeat DO NOT plug this in to anything other then These (http://www.walcottcb.com/product_info/44.html)
You will be sending power to something that does not need it and Will fry your Cd player.
Play it Cool And Get a External Speaker If you MUST have a CB :cool:
