Well, that amp was just a bit TOO powerful, seeing as how I blew 3 CB fuses and somehow turned a set of speaker wire into an arc welder!!!

I've never thought about this, but is it possible to deliver power straight from my battery to the speaker so it doesnt require another source of power like from my CB?

Below are some pics of the Speaker, there seems to be only two terminals, one hooked to the wire going to the CB, and one ground. Maybe I can use another spot on the speaker to ground it and use that free terminal for power? I really know nothing about electronics so I look to you fellas for help, here are some pics.

All I know of the speaker is that it's a Motorola, it weighs about 15 lbs despite its small size, and it came out of a Georgia State Patrol interceptor (not stolen, it was auctioned off).

I'm running out of fuses, unburnt skin and patience!!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
