Let's say you wanted to put two cb's in your rig, how should you locate the antenna's? Keep in mind that you are only going to Rx on one and TX/RX on the other.

What kind of radios are you talking about? If you are talking about two 11 meter or so called CB's then you could mount one on the driver's side mirror going to the radio you will be talking on and one antenna on the passenger side mirror for the receive. I don't know why you would want to do that unless, you wanted to RX a different channel you were listening too. Or that one is a HAM radio which, in that case it's a whole other ball game as far as antenna goes. Hope that helps.

Sounds confusing to me i would get em mixed up n talk on the wrong 1. Why not just buy a big amp and talk over everybody so no need to have mics layin everywhere?

Why would you want to do that?
If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't that burn the finals in your radios up?
Personally I wouldn't run multiple radios of the same band in a vehicle.
Now in my truck I have a 10,11,12,2 meter radios.

If you run much power on the TX machine it can burn out the RX machine no matter what chan it is on.
