External CB Speaker

I'm installing a UHF radio in the slot under my factory HU so the internal speaker on the radio is going to be all but useless. I'm trying to figure out a where to install an external speaker without it being in the way, maybe a flush mount? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Just an idea... What if you removed that little cubby under the ashtray. You could prob fit an external speaker there...

I have that Cobra one pictured by Elton underneath my drivers seat. It has a headphone/earphone jack at the speaker as well. When I want it a little more direct path to my ears I bring it out from under the seat from the rear.

I wound up hooking mine up to my aux connection to the car stereo for now. Had to turn down my mike gain though since i was getting feedback though the talkback.

only drawback is that you loose yur radio, but if yur only using the cb for off-road guidance then you shouldn't have yur stereo on anyway.
