Could I splice the speaker wires to run off my CB PA feature? I don't wan't two mics swinging around in my cab... How's the sound quality? Amplified?

I tried and it fried and let out the magic smoke after screeching horribly for a few seconds. I wouldn't advise lol.

I don't know about connecting it but I would recommend getting something else because this is very cheap and wont last

I wouldn't recommend connecting it to your CB. The horn has the amplifier built into it, and connecting it to your CB (which outputs speaker-level sound) will likely damage it. You can likely disassemble it and wire it directly to the speaker inside, but you'd probably be better off just getting a normal PA speaker in that case. Sound quality is meh, but decently loud.

I believe that this CB has a PA function, but you would have to buy the PA speaker yourself. As far as powering the unit, it is powered from your vehicle's 12v system. It comes with an in-line fuse attached but the ends of the wires are bare. i bought a 12v cigarette pug from Wal-Mart, so i could just plug it into the cigarette socket. Some complain that you dont get full power that way, or that you can get vehicle interference from it unless you hook it directly to your battery. I haven't had any interference and i've done the cigarette plug for the last 5-6 cb's i've installed.

You would half to cut and wire into your speaker harness. The amp directions tell you how to wire without rca's. The only easy part is being able to power off same harness

Not sure what you are asking. I have mine hooked up as an external PA speaker on my truck. Hooked up to my CB radio.

possibly. If you have one source splitting out into two amps, if you put it inline before both amps, you should be able to clean the noise up before it gets to the amps. I put mine between my USB dac to my 4ch amp and it was instantly better. Didn't need to use the two additional brown ground wires that are sticking out of it.

well i believe that is exactly what it is supposed to do; mine is connected directly to the wires that drive my front speakers and it works exactly as expected. Speaker signals can be viewed as a high-level signal, this just lowers that signal's amplification down to what is considered low-level signal so that it can amplified separately from your stereo's amplifier. Otherwise the signal would be amplified twice causing signal clipping/distortion which not only sounds horrible but could overload the amp.

A single 2 conductor wire is all that's needed for standard installation, keeping the connecting bars in place. The other option is for running 2 sets of wires to each speaker. On pair for the high frequency driver, one for the low to mid frequency driver. The gold plated bars connecting the terminals must be removed. Both pairs of wires connect to the same amplifier output ultimately, unless separate amplifier channels are available, which could be advantageous. This is called bi-wiring. Some audio gurus believe it offers a negligible improvement in quality. It is purely subjective. A more enlightened approach is to utilize a separate amplifier that has been connected to an active frequency dividing component known as a crossover. 2 amplifiers would be required, or 4 separate channels, and a separate preamplifier or receiver with preamplified outputs. Unfortunately as delivered the Monitor40 would still have the passive filters connected to the drivers. It would be bi-amped, but the most desirable advantages of bi-amplification are somewhat subdued owing to the passive crossover components remaining in the signal path. It would be measurably improved none the less. The passive components could then be removed without much difficulty by anyone with some soldering equipment.

If you plug the PA to the back of your CB the Mic will work through the CB just fine

Hmm... I've never come across a question like this before. Well, I suppose you would have too bridge the connections. I'll try to explain as easy as possible... use the positive post from the right channel to the positive post on speaker... and then the negative post from the left channel to the negative post on the speaker. This will "bridge" the two channels to serve as one sound source (in theory) I've done this with car subs but never with home theater components. I would seriously do your research further before you attempt this because I would hate for you to buy a great speaker and something happened to it

There is an output jack hole that says "speaker out". I've tried to connect another speaker through there as well as another preamp and my attempts were unsuccesful. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but it could also be a cheap amplifier. The bluetooth rocks, though.

Yeah, kinda... It is POSSIBLE, but I'd highly recommend taking the speaker out signal (with a proper speaker cable, NOT instrument cable) to a Behringer GI 100 Direct box. I use the speaker cab emulation switch on it and I like how it sounds through our mixer and PA. The box is only ~$40 and well worth the investment. Together with this amp, you have an awesome direct rig. I use it in churches and gigs all the time.

Can be connected to a speaker easily however when switched to pa it does not just act as a pa but also as an external speaker for the cb.no way to turn this off as far as I can see. Could get you in trouble if someone is cursing on the channel you happen to be on.

I have tried and no, is not a good option. The frecuencies are not the same and won't have a good quality. Sounds empty. I don't know if it damages the amp because i only did it a few times just to try it out and had no damage at all but i guess that if you do it frequently surely will cause damage to the speaker.

Sorry for the delayed response. It would be recommened so you don't blow the deck in your car by running them. I have a set of 6 inch speakers for the front and a four way amp/amp kit that I'm selling. If interested let me know. Will sell the whole package for 150 plus shipping. This is what I ran in my car and it sounded great. If you have any issues you can return for a refund.

What you are suggesting will most likely create feedback and/or damage the unit (any brand). If you are using it as a monitor try to get your input feed from the PA. If you can't get an isolated monitor mix from the PA then plug your mic into the B205D and use it to reinforce you own stage mix. Run the output to the PA but...Don't loop back!

The extra tweeters should be fed from a crossover from the front channel speakers as a "component" set. The wiring from the head unit wouldn't be affected by this, it'd wire up to the source or the amp as if it's a 4-speaker system.

Hook it up like you would one amp. Then splice off the wires near the other amp and hook it up. This is a complete no no if you are using high powered amps but since it doesn't draw much power you are safe doing it this way.In response to what Brandon says that's all you need is a RCA splitter and splitters for the power and remote wire and buy another ground wire (DON'T split off the ground those need to be separate). Have fun and good luck!
