What radio?? Does it have single side band(SSB)? If not, then don't use SSB.
AM - amplitude modulation SSB - single side band.
If you have SSB, there would be a switch on it to transmit in SSB. If not, it is AM only.
Second, Has this radio been worked on to be able to run on an amp? If not, you will blow the amp.
A CB radio transmits dead keys with 4 watts of power, and transmits with 4 watts of audio.
a 4 watt dead key is too much for a linear amp. You will smoke the transistors. Also, 4 watts of audio is not enough to drive it properly. You won't get full power.
The dead key needs to be around 2 to 2 -1/2 watts,or what ever makes the linear dead key half its peak wattage., and the modulation (audio) turned up all the way.
It doesn't sound like you know too much about CB radio's. Not a big deal, you can learn. For right now you may want to take it to a cb shop and tell them you want a peak and tune, and set up to run a linear.
You can find CB shops usually at truck stops. Some area's they are other places. Check the internet for local shops.

I have just installed a uniden UH-090 cb in my 4Wd, the positive and negative a directly off the battery .the ariel and coax are brand new to suit UHF but I seem to have static when ppl are talking. sometimes its clear if there is a strong signal but mostly it sounds like an electrical storm(crackleing sound) and also cuts in and out.even with engine off or on has no effect.??????
