Step 1: Hardware
-CB radio (Mic included)
-Antenna (may already have Coax cable)
-Coax cable (may already be connected to the Mount/Magnetic Mount)
-Tapping clips (1)
-Antenna spring (so it'll flex in lieu of snapping/shattering)
Note: All CB radios are equally powered (out of the box), but not always the same price. I've heard that you should spend $100 on your first setup; that is: $20 for the radio and $80 for the antenna. With experience and in time, you'll start refining your setup. For now, these are just instructions on How To Correctly Install what you've got.

On most modern vehicles the 12V acc plug (cig lighter) wiring is not enough to handle the amperage of a CB radio wile transmitting. RX(listening) only it would be ok, but to transmit I wouldn't use and wire less then 18ga (approx 10Amps)
