PA (Public Address) installation

[SUT-UP]

Bringing this thread back.

Yepp and Guru What's going on?

Yepp, What PA did you use and how does it look from the dash side?

Guru, Did you just make a blank for where the onstar buttons were or did you leave your onstar in?

I want to do a combo CB/PA in the spot where the Onstar is located. Read the install about the Redneck Onstar on the other forums. That looked good but all the smaller CB's are without a PA system. I found one cobra that may work. Wanted to get your inputs. I wish that Cobra 75 remote CB came with a PA function. It would make it the perfect install for right there. I mostly want the PA but can't justify not having a CB also.

What you guys got going on for opinions?

Thanks in advance.

I fabbed a blank for my OnStar spot out of plexiglass and fiberglass resin then sprayed it with some bedliner to match the rest of the dash.

I agree...I wish my Cobra had the PA. I'm actually getting ready to yank the CB and install a PA. I never use the CB except to listen and it makes more sense to use the Bearcat for that.

What are you going to use for a PA? Any Ideas?

LOL! I was just ready to ask you for ideas...check this one out: http://www.amazon.com/Assured-Perfor...4860691&sr=8-2

I'm not too sure about the brand, but it gets some good marks. I'd rather have something that was labeled 'rugged' or 'water resistant' though.

I was thinking about going with the Whelen product. It is definitely going to be a costlier route, but my buddies wrangler has the Cobra CB w/ PA system and its way too quite for me. Plus always have to 1-up the wrangler.

Its got a good detail about it:

Seems like it may be a way to go and then just install the Onstar CB without a Pa like HumminNBoatin did. I wont use the CB other than listening except when on a trail or roadtrips. So I can just leave the CB microphone detached and have the Whelen attached and visible. Or the entire Whelen system in the center console and the CB microphone exposed

Check out Carson too...http://www.thepublicsafetystore.com/sirens.html

I've got the HA-150 stutter horn and it's a real attention getter. LOL! I think I'm lean toward the SA-385, mainly because I've already got the Carson speaker installed.

Using a Cobra CB/PA combo... PA is plenty loud enough for me.
