Moose overhead radio unit

Does anyone have one of these? I just bought one off Ebay but i'm missing the instructions. I am only confused about one question. It came with an antenna that plugs in to the back of the radio, but it also has a red and a black wire coming out of the antenna. Would there be any reason that i would have to power the antenna? any help would be appreciated.
thanks,

power to the antenna would be in case u have an electric one.....up and down.... :D

that makes sense....1 more question. I don't want to hook my CD player directly up to my battery, so does the Rhino have any extra auxilary wires i can splice into?

Should be able to splice into any ignition wire. Or put a switch between the battery and the CD player.

i put a fuse block from advance auto parts in the glove box.run a hot and a ground from the battery and thats all .then u can run all of your accer from it.i drill holes in the back of the glovebox,run the wires through and silicone the holes back up.keeps most a the connections dry.i ran my hot to the fuse block and the other one to the egn wire

I have the exact same setup, let me know if you have any questions...I now where a helmet when i ride hard though, you will find that your head comes pretty close to the corner of the stereo. I also designed a super cheap light bar that works perfect for it I will post pics if you want?

thanks for the ideas guys.......i ended up splicing into my cigarette lighter wire(the pink one) and it worked great. I even ran the wires down through the inside of the roll cage(pain in the ass, but looks so much better). It's awesome having a radio, can't wait to really go on a hard ride with it all day. Thanks for the idea of the light bar, but it won't work for me, i'm wanting a roof to cover the top and radio up. BTW...i'm love the white plastic, i plan to start painting mine this summer hopefully......

what are yaw useing, an may be a web site to order from .? does any body sell the complete unit or are you buying your radio seperate.If so is it marine grade or not.What do yaw think an do yaw take any extra care around the radio when you clean them up. I know a lot of questons but I only want to buy once Gary

i picked mine up on Ebay, they come with speakers and an amplified antenna, but no stereo. Easy hook up, but time consuming. I washed mine this past Sunday and i just wrapped a towel around it just to be safe. I also bought a marine enclosure for it to prevent dust and water getting in it.....real nice unit.......

I found a complete audio console for 399.$ any body know anything about this unit (yamaharhino.com ) do yaw think it would do the job for what its advertised to do ? Gary

I got the in dash enclosure from sidebysidesport.com. Completely enclosed with a marine cover on the front, except for where the wires come out of the back of the box ( a little silicone fixes this). It's made by Extreme Metal Products, and I think it was like $89. I bought a Pioneer CD player from Wal-Mart for $99. My speakers are by SSV Works, most expensive part, $199(also from sidebysidesports.com). Now I've ordered a wedge set up to mount to the roll bar between the seat, at ear level. Also from the same site, $169. I mounted a cheap rubber antenena under the hood (zip tied to the bar that the battery box mounts to). Works great and is hidden. Easy install for all, just time consuming cutting out the dash, mounting speakers, and running al the wires neatly. I'm going to install this same set up on a buddies Rhino when I get home. I'm only charging him 2 cases of "courage in a can" for the job. :)

What did you use, flat bar? How did you mount it to the rollcage? I wonder if it would work, with a factory roof, with the lights mounted under the bar?
