NO ELECTRICAL OUTLET NEEDED, JUST HOOK UP THE BLUE AND SILVER WIRE AT THE BASE TO YOUR APPLIANCE OF CHOICE , CAR STEREO, HOME STEREO, TV , PC ECT. GREAT FOR CAR SHOWS, MAN / WOMAN CAVE, MOVIE ROOM ECT. INDOORS OR OUTDOORS !! Very cool vintage CBX drive in movie speaker set, with new green 36" plus speaker wire. Red lens junction box. The inside junction box was modified in order to install a 1.5 volt light that requires one AA battery ( included ) there is a toggle switch on the outside upper pole that controls the outer light, which lights up the red lens. The pole is cement filled for weight and durability and has a piece of conduit that runs thru the center for any wiring. The blue and silver wire that comes out of the base is for your hook up !! I build my units as original as possible only replacing missing or broken parts and some slight modifications for your convenience !! this unit is approx. 43" tall with a base of approx. 7" and weighs approx. 20LBS. !!
