Hooking up TVs and Sounds in H2

[Donny]

Hi guys...

I'm new to hummer's...i'm planning to hook up TVs on the headrest, Indash TV headunit/receiver, amp, speakers and subs. I'd like to know if you guys have any install instructions and any recommendations for the above audio items.

Thanks.

I went with the Kenwood KVT-915DVD receiver...

Works great, picture is perfect, TV reception is shockingly good in my area (20 miles south of Boston), and the eyeball vent doesn't interfere with the screen much at all. In fact, the installer said I'd picked the perfect pop-out screen unit because it extends out a little further than the others they've installed in the H2. It's even mounted in the top slot of the dash kit.

I replaced the factory fronts with MB Quart 216 components and the rears with BA NX67 coaxials. All running off the head unit power. Sound is real good though I think I'll upgrade to a 4-channel amp to get some more volume. It's just loud enough now but doesn't quite keep pace with the sub.

The sub is the JL Stealthbox for the H2. It's got their W-6 sub in it. Powering it is the Kenwood KAC-X810D amp.

I chose this cause I got it dirt cheap on Ebay ($250), it's enough power for the W6 sub, and it's Bass Management System integrates with my Kenwood head unit and allows me greater control over gain and so forth without having to touch the amp itself.

All in all I'm real happy with it. Not audiophile level components but good quality stuff that I was able to find easy enough for cheap on Ebay with room to expand as I see fit.

Next up are some headrest or a flip down monitor, a 4 channel amp for the door speakers, and maybe a Sirius tuner.

I see a 300/4 JL what are you powering your 12's with? I have a 300/2 for the front a 300/2 for the rear and a 500/1 to my stealth box.

I have a 1000/1 mono sub amp, bridged. The SQ is clean and loud. I love it. Especially with the 5.1 surround sound.

I went with the Bose and Theftlock Headunit Good enough for me

I've done a few installs myself as well but didn't want to do it to my new $50k truck so I had it done by a pro. I also was leary of being able to retain the On* and factory chimes in the Bose system with the aftermarket adaptors so I made it the installers problem. Lastly, I was only without my truck for a full day versus the week it would probably be in pieces for if I'd done it myself.

I'm pretty sure there aren't any clearance issues with the MBQs.

The box is HEAVY!!! The 4 12's are mounted down firing at the floor, with air vents on the front and rear sides, and a **** load of Dynomat lining the truck. The 5.1 surround on the DVD's is AWESOME!!!

Issac Goren at Sounds Good Audio in Woodland Hills, did the planning and install. We are waiting on a photo shoot for one of the car audio mags. Issacs shop has been ranked the #1 installer in the U.S. for over the last 10 years. Jesse James was having his SS Silverado and his Bently's stereos done, when my H2 was in the shop.
