    Yes. I run the RM Italy 75W amp, radio and that speaker all off of the Peterbilt factory 15A binding posts circuit.

    You are saying you power it from the posts that are used to power the radio ?? I had not thought about it that way.

    “Simple” is the point.

    One may want to do upgrades of coax and power in a company truck, but this group of components will all run off the factory-provided binding posts. 15A.

    Get an older Connex or General Lee, get it tuned and have it push a 2 pill. Keep the power cranked and the mic gain turned all the way up so people think you’re screaming.

    A stock Cobra 29 would drive something like that just fine.
