ST, I was reading this thread, and I got to agree with what Nomad that has posted,and the Cobra 2000 is way to nice of a radio to try and do that kind of a mod to. You will have to seriously alter the radio to get close to what you are trying to achieve, the power supply will not handle the load for long without failure. The longevity of the radio components are going to suffer, and you can get a small amp and have better results.

IMHO.

The guy with the 35 watt 2000...ya it sounds good for bragging rights, but what kind of meter?, Peak watts?, who did the tune up on the watt meter?.....

2 cents.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
  • @ AudioShockwav:

  • @ heartbreaker3473:
