Sounds like we are in the same boat. I use my wifes explorer for comps, and pull the box and amprack out when its not needed. I just set up the rack with the interconnects and both amps (mmats d300 hc's) where i can remove the leads at the junction block pull the board, and the sub box i have to remove the subs before i can get it in or out (too heavy). I made her daily amp rack the same way with the older kenwoods and a 2 12 prefab. I can swap these out in about an hour, an never have to adjust anything. And in my old explorer I used the tie downs as anchors for my 3 12 box, just found longer bolts and bolted it down from the inside. And i always use some form of safety screw. Hex heads or torx if you can find them. Downfiring boxes will work for a daily setup, but not likely for a comp in an explorer. It sucks you have to sweat getting jack just going to work, and I hope you come up with a solution so you can enjoy your system.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gifAlright guy's here's what im gonna do . I was gonna plan on getting my system done by april but cop's around here by me are pricks & also cause where i work ya know just a bad area. So what i want to do is this. I figured get all my stuff set up the amp gains and headunit so there right sound good hitn low and nicely. then take everything out but the 1/0awg wire , distro , Hu & battery's. That way so when the db drag by me comes up i will then put everything back in Two runs of wires to both amp's and subs/box. i was gonna wire up a rocker switch but im still taking a chance also of someone lifting my car 4 what i have or just 4 the system when im in work cause i work the late shift. please lmk guy's i been trying to think on this and just been getting so stressed etc... parents trying to help etc....Please help
. easiest thing they could get probably my H.u. i need to think of something for that still. anyone with suggestions for that please lmk. dash kit yea i know but any extras u can add for making the H.u. either hard to jack or can't jack.
As far as protecting your head unit, I would put in a regular dash kit. If a thief gets in your truck and has issues getting it out he will end up damaging your dash. But if your dead set on it, bolt a strap to rear of your deck with a 2 inch ratchet then anchor it to the floor or firewall. and use the ratchet to tighten the strap.I dont see your head deck leaving the dash. This should be fairly easy to pull off in your truck if it is like mine a 2000. Plenty of room behind the digital message panel for this set up. But like I said you may just get it stabbed with a screwdriver.Thanks man i hope i do to im come across idea's here though that people have posted up and many i have come up with myself. also i came up with take a sheet of mdf and making like a wall around the box painted it black so u cant see through the windows if they get through seeing at the tint will still look black ya know. security screws yeah that's a must getn those i was gonna flush mount the amps into the floor in front of the box but i did some measuring wouldn't have any room so what im gonna do is just put a nut inside the box and bolt the amps to the box
