hardwire?
I want to hard wire my cb to the fuse box, how exactly should I go about doing this. Do I connect the + with another fuse or what?

if you are like most people and also use your CB with the vehicle off your better to just go right to the battery. Dont forget to fuse it as close to the battery as possible, and throw in a toggle switch if you like.

if you unscrew the end off the 12v adapter your using right now their will be a fuse inside it, just use the same amp fuse as that one is.
