How To Reduce CB Radio TV Interference From Neighbors

A television receives TV channels from the aerial mounted onto of the roof on your house or building, they channels are received by invisible radio waves created by transmitting towers, that we cant see. A CB radio also uses radio waves to transmit voice, from one place to another, this can cause interference if you are listening to the radio or watching TV, when somebody is using their CB radio. This can cause problems, as you cant watch your TV because the picture crashes and you cant listen to your radio because somebody voice is heard through the speaker inside the radio. 

Solutions on how to reduce CB radio TV interference:

1)Look out of your window, do you see a 6 foot steel pole with a CB antenna attached to it that is mounted on the side of the wall or chimney on a house nearby? If you do, somebody nearby is causing interference and that is likely because they are using a linear amp, know also a burner or kicker amplifier. This device creates a larger output power, sometimes it creates too much power, power that can interfere with TVs and radios because they receive radio waves. So speak to him and tell him reduce the dead output his rig is putting out and hopefully inference from his CB radio will stop getting through your TV or radio.

2)Tell the CB owner to place his CB antenna above your TV roof aerial because if it is placed higher than the TV aerial, the waves cant disturb the radio waves received from the TV aerial.

How To Remove a Speaker Grill Cover From a Car Speaker

Most car speakers are fitted with an mesh speaker grill to protect the speaker cone from getting damaged and prevent dirt to build up from everyday use. The speaker grill is made from a metal called aluminum and can be removed if you want to see the speaker cone. You might want to consider doing this if the speaker cone matches the color of your ride or if you want to see how much excursion the speaker cone can produce. If you decide to remove the speaker grill from the speaker, you can reattach the speaker grill back on, all you have to do is reverse the process.

1) A speaker grill is held in place on top of the speaker using screws. So you will need to remove all 4 screws located in each corner. So get a Philips head screwdriver and remove all 4 screws. Once you have removed them all, you might want to place them into a small plastic container so you dont loose them.

2) Now that the screws holding the speaker grill are removed, the speaker grill can now move freely because there is nothing holding it downwards. So using both hands, grab both sides of the speaker grill and carefully push it upwards to detach it.

3) Now that the speaker grill is removed because you removed its screws, the speaker will now have nothing to hold it down. This can cause the speaker to move about when you are driving your car with the music bumping loud, which can causing rattling sounds to occur. So insert all 4 screws you remove earlier on back into there screws holes and using your Philips head screwdriver, tighten each individual screw to eliminate this problem.
