Installing a CB Radio

Hey all,


As you might have read on my other post my 04 Screw fx4 is my first ever Ford truck so I am not all that familar with everything yet. I have just finished building a housing to mount my CB radio to the top of the dash just like the Brandmotion GPS unit. I just finished painting it tonight and tommorrow will be instalation day.

Anyways this brings me to my question. I got the 6 disc CD player in my truck and I was wondering if instead of mounting an external speaker for it if I could wire it thru the factory stereo so when someone is talking on the CB it cuts out the radio and brodcasts over the speakers.

Does anyone know of something along these lines?

Drew

You would have to have switching circuitryto isolate between the stereo and the CB. Reason being you cannot backfeed back into the stereo amp or you could blow your output stage.
