tuning is simple. just get yourself a tuner and follow the instructions here
ht tp://www.rightchannelradios.com/pages/cb-antenna-tuning-guide-pv-c0-61.html

or watch this video
ht tp://www.rightchannelradios.com/pages/video-guide-step-by-step-tuning-instructions-pv-c0-90.html

that website has a lot of good info on it if you have problems getting your SWR levels down. it also has a lot of good info about CBs in general

Cutting the coax will get you real close if the length you have yields a high swr and the tuning stub/whip can get you there.
