Cobra CB and 100 Watt PA

Is it possible to take my cheap cobra CB radio thats from walmart and hook it up to a 100 watt PA speaker or maybe even 2 100 Watt speakers. I already have a smaller pa for my cb but can I just splice the wires and plug it into my cb or is my Cb not enough power for full use them?

Sorry I posted this in the wrong section earlier.

It'll work, but you'll still be putting 4 watts (or whatever it is) towards the speaker(s) you hook up to it.

you will have to get an amplifier for the speakers to make them loud

Radioshack has a mini-200w amp board perfect for mounting under a seat.
