Mounting pa speaker

Well finally got a cobra 29 cb and a pa speaker, but I can't find a good spot to put the speaker, I would also like to figure out where to wire the power in to the key switch, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello Br1 and welcome to FTE.

What year of truck do you have, and what engine?

I would advise you to wire the CB directly to a battery. Wiring them to a device that is "Key On" can cause a lot of interference from the ignition system, and other vehicle electronics. Wiring a CB to the battery allows the battery to act as a "filter" and can dramatically reduce the amount of noise you get through your setup.
