Hummer H1 Full Audio Installation Advice
 

Hello, I have bought a 1996 Hummer H1 and I want to install the perfect audio system.

I went to Best buy and asked for the very best which they have in stock:
-6 Speaker (JBL)
-Alpine 7 inch Touch Dash
-Capacitor
-Wiring
-2 Alpine 12' inch subs (1500amps)
-Alpine Amp (1000Amps).

I am looking for...the very best full complete system since the Hummer has all stock audio.
If you owned a Hummer H1 or where chosen to put in a full Audio System what would you put into it?
I am are currently thinking of installing 8 Sub woofers...Unfortunately I do not know what size and what brand would sound good. My father will help me with finace for the audio system.
Can somone reply with full specs on which audio system I should install into the Hummer H1.

PS. I wish to have a motorized slide out Dash so it can hide when the vehicle is parked. As well would it be best to hook up 1 Amp to each Sub? or 1 Amp to 2 ...etc.
PS2. If you do not have any time to write down all the specs, you can simply give me your phone number and I will call you.

Thank you, Matt

you mean watts sir not amps.
also i think you can do WAY better then best buy dude.
from what ive read theres many quality shops in ontario
go to a local shop and tell them what you want your budget and
they will make it work for you. btw dont get a cap. waste of money

Alright, thank you very much for your advice, and yes I do mean Watts.
I will keep looking through this thread for more replies.

no prob we all start somewhere, im still just gettin my feet wet in the car audio but definatly go to a local shop WAY better prices and customer service and better products, also if you stick around youll learn alot of things i know thats what im doing.

first off,
Welcome!
second,
very nice purchase. post pics of her please. this is my dream vehicle.
third,
if you want the very best and money is no object your going to get slammed with post for $10,000 speakers... you must have an idea of what it is you want or at the very least a budget!
oh and last,
stay away from Future Shop, Best buy and the likes.. dont get me wrong good all around stores but for car audio go to your local stereo shop.

good luck!
Dan

Where in Ontario are you located?

why u say ?????????????????????????????????????????????

well, if I had an h1, id put in marine audio as id be wheelin the hell out of it and probably have it under water more than once...lmao

Thank you Dan, This is my dream car as well. Here is a picture of her

she is currently in body shop I will post more pictures when shes out. Thank you for the advice on Future shop, Best buy...etc. I will visit a couple of local shops and decide on my system.

I am located in Orangeville Ontario , I fish for audio around Orangeville and Mississauga.etc.

Haha thanks for the advice Mat, but she will not see to much under watering :P, I wish to use her for mostly on road. :)


PS. May anyone list me a recommended brand, one which will not blow on me. :)

First things first, stop going to Best Buy and find a good car audio dealer...

Next, start asking questions right here on the forum...

With 8 1000 W single channel amps, one for each sub, and drawing something like 160 amps each for a total of 1280 amps, your alternator should be in the same class as of one from a diesel locomotive... :)

Hope yer dad's got lots of money, alternators from diesel loco's not only HUGE, but also quite pricy... :)

There is a list on the forum here that lists the crap, the good, and the best of car audio, but where it is, I don't know.

Ok guys, where's du list ??
