UHF CB radio DIY external speaker

Hacked an old cheap set of crappy PC speakers to make an external speaker for my CB radio. Most external UHF speakers you can buy are 8 ohms, 5 watts. Turns out the speaker units in this set of PC speakers were 4 ohms, 3 watts each. Wire them up in series and you get a perfect external speaker for your CB radio. Also chopped up the speaker housings and glued them together to mount in my overhead radio console.

Does the external speaker need its own power supply?

Hi there! and no, it just runs off of the 3.5mm audio jack from the radio. This radio has mono output only so the two positive wires from the 3.5mm audio lead are joined together and soldered to the positive of one speaker. The negative of that speaker then goes to positive of the other speaker, then the negative of the second speaker goes to the negative wire in the audio lead.
