CB antenna

hey y'all I want to get a CB and I've looked at all the antenna set ups and I would have gotten a whip but it's not gona work out the way i want it to because of my rod holders, and I don't think the double fiberglass antennas would look good on my truck. I saw a chevy the other day with a single fiberglass antenna mounted in the middle of his toolbox where you would normally mount a whip and I thought that would look good. what do y'all think? would a single fiberglass antenna do the job?

 

get a wilson 500 and place it top dead center of the cab...or tool box...wilson 500 is a good unit

 

top center of the cab would look retarded

 

thanks for the suggestion but I'm not a fan of that look

 

If you do go with center of the tool box, make sure to run a tool box to chassis ground wire. Those J bolts that attach the box to the bed are sometimes a source of poor ground which will cause high SWR's.

thanks for the info man

 

it'll work as long as its long enough. Why don't you want a whip mounted there?

 

i have a fiberglass one on my drivers side of my tool box

 

go for the whip!

 

sounds alright to me clay
