There should be two wires, a red one and a black one. The Red is for power, the black is for ground. If you wire it directly to the battery, use an inline fuse. Other wise get a test light and wire it to the fuse box. As for the PA, go to a CB shop and buy a speaker and the required cable. It's pretty self explanitory.

WARNING: Do not run the CB anteana wire (coax) into the engine compartment. I did, and everytime I keyed up on the mic with the cruise control set my BII would accelerate. Better to mount the ant. up on top. I now use a gutter rail mount with a firestick. It works much better.

PS: Also, do not ground the CB to the battery. You will pick up a lot of road noise and it is more likely to corrode. Ground it to the steel on the dash board.
