    8" Concealed sub and amp setup - Advice

    Sounds like you would be better off just buying a set of good headphones and taking them with you when you leave. A thief will cut into your soft top to steal a cheapo amp just the same as they would if you had more costly gear. They don't know the difference until the damage is already done...
