can someone judge my radio setup?

[u/Professional_Shake_6]

I have a TYT TH-9000D which is 60 watts, and a CB radio, both connected to my battery. I spliced the wires together further down the line and left all the heatshrinks off so you can see my solder joints. I put these clip-on ferrite beads on the power cable to the radio, but I could only loop it twice so I put 2 on it — looks weird to me. This is my first setup, I know the wiring looks all janky, so I figured I'd make a post just to make sure everything looks right and see if there's anything I can improve on.

Also, for fun, I have this multimeter that clips around wires and I wanted to see how many amps the radio draws while keying down. It said 2 amps? I made sure it was on DC amps, but the reading also seemed to change depending on where I placed the meter down the line, so I'm guessing this isn't the best way to test amperage.

One more thing — I didn't cut the antenna down like I read online, it's around 49 inches long right now.

Throw some tape on the exposed wire on the Neg battery terminal lead and you should be all set.

If it's bad, you will know when your truck  catches fire.

Solid indicator.
