Anyway, back to your new radio. First, get an external speaker. Not a
horn speaker, but one you can use inside the vehicle. Even an old car
stereo speaker will work. There are two speaker jacks on the rear of
the radio: PA and EXT. Use the EXT jack. You will notice a =-BIG-=
improvement in sound quality over the cheap little speakers that
usually come inside stock radios.

I have a extra speaker that hooks up to my little mini stereo that I
never use. I figured I would try it out just to see. Remember now I am
a newbie, and messing with all these wires and stuff makes me a bit
nervous. On the back of the Cobra 29 LTD Classic is the place for it
just like you said EXT, but it's a round hole. One the back of the
speaker I have is two wires, one red, one black. There must be some
type of a adapter I can purchase. I hate to buy a new external speaker
if this speaker here will work. What do i need? Thanks so much for all
the help you have given me. Not sure if this helps but it says 4 ohm
on the back of the speaker


You just need a plug, 1/8" mono. Rat Shack has them, part #274-286. If
you can't solder, they might have one with screw terminals, or you
might find an old plug with the wires still on it and splice them
together. The wire colors are to match the phase of two stereo
speakers and shouldn't matter when using just one speaker. 4 ohms is
fine, just don't crank it up like a sub-woofer.
