I have had this equipment sitting in storage for two years after pulling it from my Avalanche and Excursion.* I felt it was time to finally install it in the H2.

I actually have quite a few things that need to be installed.* I was originally going to build an enclosure under the second row seat for a subwoofer and amplifer, but thought that defeated the purpose, since I already have the Soundstream Davinci amplifer and the 15" Soundstream Tarantula subwoofer.* I took more measurements, and found that I could fit the subwoofer behind the spare tire and the amplifier across from it.

Now, instead of building an enclosure beneath the second row seat, I am going to use it as a platform to mount power distribution, capacitors, siren/horn controller, AutoPC, power inverter, AV controller, TV tuner, PlayStation 2, and LCD controllers.* It is definitely a work in progress.* The biggest obstacle is that I do not want to eliminate any more functionality or room in the vehicle than absolutely required.

What I save in money by doing it myself and by using existing equipment I hope to be able to put towards things like mud tires and other offroad equipment.
