[QUOTE="JLCivic, post: 443732, member: 547424"] I have owned Eclipse ESN decks for 10 years with no theft problems at all. A dealer on another forum mentioned in his 8 years as an eclipse dealer, he has had 4 customers have their eclipse decks stolen. I am also on several car audio forums, and I can count the number of posts from people who have had their eclipse decks stolen on one hand. I have had detach face decks, and I prefer ESN for a variety of reasons: in time, taking the faceplate off just becomes a hassle so I left it on(as do many others) detach faceplates can get lost, stolen, or broken some thieves will break into your car anyway since they figure your faceplate is probably still in the car(under a seat, in the glovebox, etc) some thieves will just steal whatever they can get(and I have seen posts from people who still have their faceplates yet the rest of the deck was stolen) It all comes down to personal preference. I would prefer a stock looking false front to cover any deck I owned over detach face/esn/phantom face, etc. I think keeping a low profile is more important than what type of security you have, anyway. If you think you really want/need detachable face, don't buy an eclipse. [/QUOTE]
