cb suggestions?

looking to update my current cb radio with a new nice one. im currently running a general electric one from the early 1900s. i want to mount it under my pioneer headunit, and i dont want to spend too much money. i have a pa installed under the hood, a tuned hustler antenna, and now i want to complete it with a nice, inexpensive one that will let me talk with my friends. what do you all suggest?

What are the dimensions of the area you want to mount it?

I have some great preowned radios that are good talkers and arent expensive.Shoot me an e mail for pics and model numbers.(no junk)

I'm sure your tired of hearing this but....not many radios beat the Cobra's audio. If your looking for the regular 40 channel radios get a cobra and have it peaked and tuned (meaning the finals have been aligned to produce stronger audio). Stay away from the nightwatcher's if you want to get the most out of a tune. I believe the nightwatcher's are single final radios.

My Nightwatcher 29 is currently pumping out 25 watts on the transmit side.
It gets out, believe me.

It has been modded to put out max.

On a different note, I like how your dog is in the pict!!
