newbe need help figuring this out

[Runaway]

can I get small coax ( like the mini that can handle 11-12 hundered watts? I would like at all cost to be able to run it through the vent glass of my big truck -99 INT. Eagle- with-out compromising on any performance ....Or having to cut holes and all that jazz....Slip-seat type set-up.....You know, throw it in ,set SWRs and truck it up.....

1,100 to 1,200 watts? Why does anyone need to run that much power in a mobile?

they have coax at the radio shack down the street..

the boxes of the stuff are probably 15 years old and yellowed from age

Ok thanks for the come-back gus...Here comes next newbe question; is the RG8-X the same as the regular mini 8 I buy at the truck stop to just run my radio with? Or is it something I have to order special? Wish I knew more about it....Thanks

well i dont really know what the truck stop sells but the rg8 x and mini x are one in the same. im sure there is other good stuff besides beldon .the beldon coax is usually grey in color and it says beldon on the side of the coax. you can run 1300 watts i think the beldon website said on the rg8-x. i see others useing alot of it.
