The Dude Abides Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Could i put this Into the Ashtray Hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It looks like you could. I would just check measurements on both the ashtray compartment and the CB. Best of luck to you. TWitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 The only thing i do not like about this cb is that it doesnt have the weather band stations. But i like the clean slick look. it would provide if it fits where i want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well, if you want weather band, just get a stereo that has that tuner! :-p And some of the 96-99 limited outbacks had that capability, it you want to stick with subaru only Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Width looks right, but how deep/long is it? I would check how deep the hole for the ashtray is and then look at how long the CB is if it would fit, I'd get one! "I don't have the ashtray, just a hole where it gos :(" Now your making me want a CB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 PS: Can you post a link to where you found that CB? I want to look into it more -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) pretty sure it will be too deep, the back end will have the power wires and socket for the antenna. Where is the speaker for it, front side or back and the knobs stick out, no more first gear, 3rd, and 5th. i dunno though. my cb came with weather band channels, http://www.amazon.com/Cobra-19-40-Channel-Compact-Radio/dp/B00083KUVS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1243544605&sr=8-2 Product Dimensions: 1.8 x 4.5 x 7 inches ; 3.6 pounds i bought this one http://www.amazon.com/Cobra-18-WX-ST-II/dp/B00005N5WU/ref=pd_cp_e_3?pf_rd_p=413863501&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00083KUVS&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=17F2HS3QXHR325S577EK#moreAboutThisProduct so far, i need to tune it to see if it even works lol Now that i am reading the reviews, it might just be another paper weight noise box. if not, I will sell it to you Ben.

Suberstar88 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thats exactly where i want to put my CB lol, just need to find a screwdriver bent 90 degrees at the end so i can get the clip thing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You guys must not like your change holders Actually, I believe that's one of the best places for a cb. No worries about the mic hitting you in the head when you go over a bump... I think I may install a cb in my brat now... Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Yea i am awsome arent i. But if it wont fit in there then i wont get one. The thing about my ashtray is that, 1 i dont use it and 2 it slides out when i hit the gas hard so phhaa i dont need it. I bet it would be deep enough to fit but i need to measure at least now deep that hole is before i go spoutin out clames of the foutain of youth.

cd45 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I plan to put a HAM radio in my Brat. It has a removable face so I can mount the radio under the seat and just the face on the dash. I don't have to worry about the depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those radios are a bit longer. You could do a little cutting and make it fit. And man, it really sucks when the ashtray falls out, especially if you use it for an ashtray.

Maybe thats why mine was when I bought the car and it still is missing. Just am tired of seeing the empty space Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
