Dont forget, the firering cable they usually sell has a hot and ground side. It is important safety feature, I had mine upside down, basically the jeep became the antenna and the antenna became the ground. AKA Lightning Rod Just had to Flip it around.

Im a little confused as I am a noobie to cb install. Are you saying the coax cable has a hot and a ground side? Will you expand on your post?
Thanks

I just installed a cb a few days ago and it looks like I'll need reroute my cable so it's not coiled and was never aware I had to tune the antenna. I guess it's off to the firestick website in the morning.
