A.connect the positive (RED WIRE) the one with in-line fuse holder to either the ( a ) fuse block, ( b ) cigarette lighter, or ( c ) directly to the positive post on your battery.

Usually, the fuse block is the most convenient connecting point. It is also possible to connect to the Accessory terminal on the fuse block or ignition switch, so that your CB automatically goes off when the ignition goes off.
