CB Help needed...

The other day I when I keyed up to talk, I could hear myself on my subs I still can transmit and receive fine, SWR is normal too... The CB is grounded to the radio ground, while the subs are grounded to a separate spot...any ideas?

sounds like feedback, sometimes a noise suppressor will help I have the same problem in my Mack tri-axle every once in a while

by chance were you on a FM station when this happened?
That is usually when mine does it on weaker FM stations

No, I was listening to a CD (actually it was a MP3-DVD). And it's ONLY the subs that it transmits over...

make sure your cb and your cb antenna cable are as far away from your stereo and rca patch cords as possible...

CB coax is run down the left side of the truck, and the RCA's are on the right hand side.

"The CB is grounded to the radio ground"




That is where I would start.



NExt keep power and ground away from all radio wires.


Dont share grounds.



What kind of CB is it? Some have **** poor filters.

Running an amp for the CB?>

Its not the cb, its doing its job. Its feedback from the stereo. Like WAWA said, start with seperate grounds and go from there
