Best PA system?

I'm looking for a good system...I know the old way is to buy a horn and a CB Radio, but most CB Radios only put out about 5w max...is that enough to drive a horn to be loud enough for people to hear? I had the COGA PA System and it was a complete waste of cash, pitiful system, barely audible and the microphone was a joke. Any ideas? Links? Etc?

How loud and clear is yours? can you possibly get a vid by placing a camera outside your car and talking via the cb?

This is the right front inner part of the bumper. I have it ziptied to my lightbar mount.
