Cobra 29 LX AM/FM CB Radio + President Virginia Magnet-Mount Antenna + 3″ External Speaker Combo

A complete plug-and-play mobile CB setup in one order. This combo pairs the Cobra 29 LX AM/FM CB radio — full-size 40-channel dual-mode AM/FM with 4-color LCD, NOAA weather alerts, and Radio Check self-test — with the popular President Virginia magnetic CB antenna and a compact Aries 3″ wedge external speaker. Ideal starter kit for a truck, pickup, SUV, or work vehicle where a magnet-mount antenna is preferred over a permanent install.

What's in the combo

• Cobra 29 LX AM/FM CB radio — 40-channel dual-mode AM/FM, 4-color LCD, 10-channel NOAA weather receiver with alert tone, instant channel 9/19, Radio Check self-test, built-in SWR meter, adjustable Dynamike, PA capability
• President Virginia magnetic CB antenna — 19.69″ dual-helical quarter-wave whip on a magnetic base, pre-tuned to 1.1:1 SWR, 250 W PEP handling, 12-foot coax included, 10-year factory warranty
• Aries 3″ wedge external CB speaker — compact 3¼″ × 3⅜″ wedge, 5-watt max, 500 Hz – 5 kHz response, 6-foot cable with 3.5mm plug, mounting bracket and hardware included
• Cobra 29 LX accessories: factory dynamic 4-pin microphone, DC power cord, under-dash mounting bracket, mic clip, owner's manual

Why buy the combo

You save roughly 5% versus buying the Cobra 29 LX, the President Virginia antenna, and the Aries 3″ speaker separately. Everything you need to be on the air is in one order — no separate antenna shopping, no separate coax to source, no speaker-jack adapter to hunt down. Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.

Who this combo is for

• First-time CB buyers who want a complete drop-in setup without piecing components together
• Truck / pickup / SUV drivers who prefer a magnet-mount antenna over drilling a permanent mount
• Fleet operators and companies outfitting multiple vehicles with weather-alert-capable CB radios
• Drivers who need better cab audio — the external speaker moves the sound off the radio chassis and closer to the driver's ear
• Buyers who want an extended radio warranty — the President Virginia + a President-brand radio pairing extends the radio warranty; buying the Virginia with a Cobra radio does not extend the Cobra warranty, but the Virginia's own 10-year factory warranty still applies

Install notes

• The President Virginia magnet base drops onto any ferrous (steel) roof or trunk lid — no drilling, no permanent mounting. The 12-foot coax terminates in a PL-259 that plugs directly into the Cobra 29 LX's SO-239 rear antenna jack.
• The Aries 3″ speaker's 3.5mm mono plug goes into the 29 LX's rear external-speaker jack.
• SWR should be checked at the antenna after install. The Virginia is factory pre-tuned to 1.1:1 and typically shows low SWR across all 40 channels without adjustment, but every vehicle is different. The 29 LX's built-in Radio Check self-test provides a quick on-the-road SWR sanity check.
• For maximum-performance install and bench work, add the Pro tune and alignment service at checkout.

Compatibility

• Fits any vehicle with a steel roof, hood, or trunk lid that can host a magnet mount
• Cobra 29 LX chassis (~9.25″ D × 7.25″ W × 2.25″ H) fits the traditional CB slot in most Class 8 trucks and older pickup dashes
• All components use standard connectors (PL-259, SO-239, 3.5mm) — no proprietary adapters

Cobra 29 LX + Virginia + Speaker Combo — Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the Cobra 29 LX Virginia combo?

The combo includes the Cobra 29 LX AM/FM CB radio (with factory microphone, power cord, mounting bracket, and mic clip), the President Virginia magnet-mount CB antenna with 12 feet of coax attached, and the Aries 3″ wedge external CB speaker with mounting bracket. Everything you need to install a mobile CB system with a magnet-mount antenna.

Do I save money buying the combo?

Yes. The combo is priced at approximately 5% below the total of the three components bought separately. It's also faster to install — one order instead of three, and all the connectors match without needing adapters.

Does the President Virginia antenna work with the Cobra 29 LX?

Yes. The Virginia antenna terminates in a standard PL-259 connector that plugs directly into the Cobra 29 LX's rear SO-239 antenna jack. No adapter needed.

Do I need to tune the President Virginia antenna?

The Virginia is factory pre-tuned to a 1.1:1 SWR and usually shows low SWR across all 40 CB channels on a standard vehicle install. SWR should still be verified at the antenna after install using either the 29 LX's built-in Radio Check self-test or an in-line SWR meter.

Where does the external speaker plug into the Cobra 29 LX?

The Aries 3″ external speaker's 3.5mm mono plug goes into the rear external-speaker jack on the Cobra 29 LX. Sound routes to the external speaker automatically when the plug is connected.

Does this combo extend my Cobra warranty?

No. The President Virginia antenna extends the radio warranty only when paired with a President-brand CB radio. Cobra warranty terms are unchanged, but the Virginia's own 10-year factory warranty still applies to the antenna.

Can I upgrade to a permanent-mount antenna later?

Yes. Any 50-ohm CB antenna with a PL-259 plug works with the Cobra 29 LX. Popular upgrades include the Stryker SR-A10 and 102″ stainless steel whip antennas. The 29 LX's rear SO-239 jack accepts any standard CB antenna.
