PA speaker

[thetnhillbilly]

To my understanding, if a stock cb is used, an added PA speaker should be 8ohm and handle at least 4W. If the radio has been modified for more power, does that affect the power to the PA jack? Would an 8ohm 6W paging horn hooked up to a modded cb risk blowing the horn? Can I toot my own horn?

No, the audio chip will still deliver the same power to the speaker and PA jacks.

Would an 8ohm 6W paging horn hooked up to a modded cb risk blowing the horn?

Not likely at all. Most CB units only put out about 4 to 5 watts of audio, and many put out less than that.

Can I toot my own horn?

Sure. You'll need to have a professional BS artist add a mouthpiece to it, and possibly some sort of metal tubing to make sure it has an audible tone, but once the proper mods are done, you can toot your own horn.
