I have two 10" audiobahn subs in the back with a 1300 watt (i think) audiobahn amplifier. I also custom made my own boxes to fit the speakers snug into the back corners of my wagon. its much easier to make your own sub box if you know what your doing. One warning when it comes to subs is remember the interior of the hummer is large and its also loud in there! so its tough acoustically to make everything work together but it can be done if you play around with it a bit. The 10" subs work well because it can give you strong bass, but is a very tight sounding bass so it is very versatile for whatever style of music you listen to.

As to wiring in DVD players and such, this is fairly easy compaired to other vehicles because of the fairly accesable and simplistic wiring.



Make sure you shop around, and really listen carefully to speakers, they may sound great in the store, but may sound horrible in the truck.
