				I am planning an install in a new Hummer H3.  I am thinking about two small radios in console pocket and two quarter waves on top or thru glass antennas on rear side windows.  If you have installed on H3, I need tips on fire wall hole and headliner work.

				Not sure if it will help a whole lot, but:
The H3 is built off of the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon mid-sized pick-up platform.  There is a post a couple down where I gave someone some ideas on getting through the firewall on that truck.  It may or may not apply to the H3, but the power wiring information should.

Looks like a nice vehicle.  Would love to see how it all looks when you are done.

				Radio install in Hummer H3 went smooth.  There is a good place to the left of brake pedal for 3/4 hole for groumet for power wires.  Power wires can be connected to stud in fuse box under hood near battery.  Notice the air cooling for the battery.  A Larsen NMO quarter wave above each dome light.  Vhf Icom in console pocket now.  Hope to get a UHF CM300 in there also.  Anyone have any ideas on installing LED's in front and strobes in rear?

				Sounds like the same set up as my Canyon.  I did have some alternator whine coming in through the power leads when I used the fuse box studs.  I ended up powering directly off the battery.  I noticed the battery cooling too.
I would also love to see some pictures.
