Learning how to hook up a CB linear amp (kicker box) is easy. You do want to be careful not to hook up one that is too powerful, or you could have problems with the FCC. The CB comes with 4 watts of power as regulated by the FCC. Hooking up a linear amp can boost that wattage to 10 or even 12 watts. The linear amps help the output of the transmission. Some CB radios are just weak as far as the signal is concerned. If you live or drive in secluded areas, you may need an amp to boost your transmission signal so that people farther away can hear you. If there are homes near you when you are using a linear amp, you could bleed over onto telephones, TV and radios. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
