preference....I do not consider it a hummer, nor an off road vehicle (which is what hummers are supposed to be IMO).

to me, it looks more like a woman's vehicle

you want a hummer, then go get an h1

Actually, the new v-8 powered H3's aren't bad. They are no H1 for off-road prowess, but they dont cost 100k+ either.

dude dont hate on the H3, if anything that thing is WORSE than the H2... sure its still not a man's hummer, but most poeple driving H1's looks like idiots becuase no one really needs one.

H2 is basically a beefed up tahoe..

If you want some legit offroad ability, look at range rovers, you would be amazed at what some people have gotten them to do.

And yes, R's are pretty decent subs

I have an H1, my g/f has a range rover. When we go off roading, which one do you think we take?

Oh, but its nice to know I look like an idiot driving mine because I dont need it.

You look like an idiot when you say something.

Most going with budget components lean towards Phoenix Gold RSDs... My CDTs were 100 at the time and can be had for around 150 now and they are great.

i like the type R's that i had (which are for sell by the way). but i had them in a sealed box. Do a ported box and you will be much happier, especially in a suv.....

In my next setup, I am going to be running 2 12" R's on a Hifonics BXi2608D. It is an over-rated amp, so I hope to get ~2,000-2,200 watts rms out of it. I know a couple guys that have R's, and they get very loud, and sound decent doing it.

that amp and subs is a perfect combination in a box no larger than 2 cubes net per sub. i used to run 4 bxi2607d's. they will do rated at 14.4

I work for local city council, have my own house, and 2 vehicles and about to buy a bike. everything but the house is paid off. thank you very much

my daily driver, easy on gas, 2007 and like i said PAID OFF

Here is the money pit and constantly working on various toys. i picked this up a few months ago and sold off my 53 pickup to a fellow club member

this was a shot for a charity show we have oming up

about to pick up this bike from my brother in the next few weeks, thats another $5K, i also go to college which i have to pay for since i make too much to get financial aid and I am over 25, and insurance is not too bad. I cant get full coverage on the '27, but because of its Roadster status i have to pay about $70 a month.

not only do i have to work, pay insurance, school, and a house...i have to pay more taxes than you do. i make decent cash at work, but i also flip a house from time to time. its a bad market so me and the wife try to stick to one a year.

i can get pics of one of the recent properties we have been working on. BTW the misses has a $60K /year physical therapy job. she has her stuff and i have mine. i would have more if i could dip into her cash
