Default Galaxy 979 input

I have a Galaxy 979 Cb Radio, bought it from Sparkys my meter says it pushes between 10-12 watts. I want more punch, should I just go with a small kicker or some work done on the inside. Anyone have any suggestions on this radio.

For the money a small amplifier would give you the best bang for the buck. What meter are you running? I'm sure it's doing more then 12 watts peak. The 979 is a decent little radio for sure.

Why not add an RFX75?

I have not dealt with the rfx75 before. I guess I would probably get a small kicker. Any suggestions on reputable online sales. Thanks for the help.

I have that same radio, done up by Sparky. You have many choices to choose from in an amp. I've always used mine with an RM Italy 300P. I occasionally switch out to a TNT-350HD. I've used a TS-500V with great success too. It all depends on what you want to spend. The choices are really endless. I've recently purchase a Midnight Special 500 for it, but haven't tried it yet.

TNT 350 would do you some good. doesnt draw a whole lot and will give you around 300 watts no problem.
