I recently installed a CB radio and a PA horn into my 1996 Ford Bronco.  Because of space restrictions, I had to mount the PA horn in the engine compartment, muffling some of it's sound.  I would like to find an amplifier that will help me to amplify this signal, however I don't know where to look.  The power coming off the back of the CB radio is 4 Watts I believe, and the speaker has a maximum rating of 50 Watts.  I'm curious to know as to how I can raise my power level to be loud enough.

Any Ideas?

Regards,

Tony

All you will need is an amplifier capable of accepting high level inputs.

This amp would be great, speaker level inputs and it's cheap. (never thought I would ever recommend such a product but in this application who cares).
