[crazymikey555]

Does anyone have any suggestions on a pa speaker what ones are the best for a good price.

I am gona talk from back in the day ! A pa speaker is an exterior type speaker. Mose are hornes designed for that use. Rat Shack used to have a selection that was good. Most didnt have great sound but you had to hide um under the hood somewhere anyway. As a teenager and young adult I got into enough trouble with um to not want um anymore.

Man oh man, how did I miss that !

Hey Crazymike, welcome to the forum from sunny Georgia !

[crazymikey555]

I am looking for a loud and clear horn not an external speaker. one that can fit under the hood. of my truck.

[Guest]

The GI Joes link I posted is what you are looking for , however I would give Mike a call at ***Censored*** and see what he has ......He will give you a good deal if he carry's them

Rat Shack has one for i think $14. It gets the job done. Nothing real fancy.

[Phaze91460]

You dont really want a fancy one cuz the moisture and heat will kill um. Need to be able to replace cheep when needed.

Speaking of "Back in the day!"In the latter '70s I owned a '72 Plymouth Fury II. The thing was dark brown & was in fact a retired detectives car from the Marshall TX P.D., so it looked the part. In Marshall there was a row of 2 story duplexes that was a big haven for Mexican illegals. I had a Cobra radio & a PA speaker under the hood. I had also acquired one of those bubble lights that go on the dash! One night at 2 am I was haulin hiney down that road, did a power slide into the parking lot hollerin to high heaven on the PA: IMMIGRATION!!! IMMIGRATION!!!!! It was hilarious to watch 'em come flying out of every imaginable hole in a house you could think of! I swear one came off the roof! Don't know if he was already up there or if he came out a vent pipe! LOL! But could you see doing that these days? They prolly would all come out the front door shooting! Later on I did get that PA speaker & bubble light confiscated. I pulled over my Girlfriends Daddy as a joke. Needless to say, he had less of a sense of humor than I gave him credit for! (I didn't know he was a former Sheriffs Deputy!) LOL!

I was going to ask Phaze to expound on his PA trouble, but it looks like RabidRobert has obliged us. :shocked:

CrazyMikey,
Good luck on the PA speaker, welcome to the forum, don't get into too much trouble, but let us know what happens!

I wonder if a speaker that is used for a siren when would work?
I am not sure because most siren have 100W audio output and most CB radios have like 8 or 12 W output on the PA jack

It might not have enough power to drive the speaker, but I am sure it would hold up to the heat and moisture

[Phaze91460]

That speaker would work fine. The power handling ability does not effect the sound at lower wattages.

And NO I will not tell on some of the things I did. Not sure if the statuat of limitations is ever gona be up ! and that girls dad may still lookin for me. And those ........... never mind.
