How to install a cb radio in a car?

I have already installed the CB, it is grounded to the body of the truck and plugged into the accessory fuse line out and the antenna is sat on the cab roof with a magnetic base. My problem is that I get static. I do pick up other CBs on the highway sometimes as far as a mile or 2, but I think it has to do with the other CBs more then mine. Does anyone know of any tweaks I could try to boost my range %26amp; clarity and cut back on static.How to install a cb radio in a car?
adjust the squelch. and a mile or 2 isn't far at all. if that's all you're picking up i would suggest not trying to talk at all because anybody and everybody is going to key over you. and depending on your radio model you won't be able to do any modifcations to it. if you've got a full size then you could get the dioades changed in it to increase wattage (anything over 4 whatts is illegal according to FCC regulations so remember that.) but you could try that and you could also get an amp depending on the radio every 100 watts adds 70 miles to the range so you could try that if you wanted personally there's no point in it but it's whatever you want to do.How to install a cb radio in a car?
You said you hooked it into the fuse line, don't do that. Hook it straight to the battery, both positive and negative wires, and ground it separately with grounding braid.How to install a cb radio in a car?
Do you get it only when the engine is running? If so, it's spark plug noise. New cables might do the trick. Is the interference a whine that changes pitch when you step on the accelerator? If so, it's alternator noise. A noise filter on the positive lead should help or running both leads directly to the battery will eliminate it. If you do this, put fuses on both leads.
