Default CB/PA wiring install?

I have a 2005 xlt f150 and I'm curious on how to hook up all the wires and how to hide them? Also like how to and were to run them through the cab so I can hook up a speaker up front and antennas in back. Also what's a good brand of cb pa system. Pictures would be greatly appreciated so I know what to do haha. Thanks everyone

Wiring goes behind dash to fuse box. No pa. Coax goes under floor mats, under seats, out the rear door jamb, through the plug holes in the front of the bed to my antennas

I have a camlocker toolbox with a rail that I mounted my antenna on and then drilled a hole in the rear bed caps to run the wire through. I brought the wire in through the rear door and ran it under the seat and floormats to the head unit. Right now I am just using the unit wedged between the passenger seat and console. I didn't want to hard wire mine because I wanted to make it removable so I bought a bought a cigarette outlet thing that attaches directly to the wires. I'll post some pics haha I know that's confusing.

I have a pa speaker in the lower grille and cb above the e brake handle. I have dual whips and mounted them on the bed rails and ran the wires through the door and under the plastic step pieces on the inside by the doors. I'll upload pics when I get a chance. It's so fun to tell at people with the pa hahaha I have the 100w one from radio shack and it's weather proof and plenty loud!

The wires I ran for power (you can see the red wires in the photo) run out to the battery. The plug you see is for my GPS.

The antenna wire I ran under the door thresholds. In my crew cab under the back drivers side threshold there is a rubber grommet. I ran the wire out to the antenna through there.
