Installing CB Radio. Does anyone else have one?

Wondering were the best place to wire the ground and power for my CB Radio. I've mounted my CB at the bottom part of my glovebox and I'm looking for the best place to run the wires. Please Help.

That should be easy...treat it like any typical 12v item.

You have wiring for constant and accessory (switched) power behind your headunit. You can easily run wiring to there. You can even run a ground wire behind the kick panel to some bolt or just screw it into the sheetmetal.

I'm not sure what the ciggarette lighter in the Maxima is anymore. If its constant or switched. THat might be an ideal place also.

Atleast using thoes wiring soruces can yield easier troubleshooting if a fuse blows. You can easily check the radio or cigg lighter fuse for anything.
