[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2247478, member: 549629"] The best way to deter theives is to not make them aware of your system. Once any competent theif gets the notion to jack your stuff, you're pretty much screwed. People talk about bolting boxes down (should be anyway), assembling the box inside the trunk, even see people talk about moutning razor blades under dashes etc sometimes.... its nuts. Like was said above, if the theif finds out he cant steal it, 9 times out of 10 he's gonna trash it anyway. Can't get the sub box out? He'll put his shoe through the cone. Cuts his fingers on razors mounted under the dash? Great, now you have a stranger in your car with bad intentions AND hates your guts personally.... he's gonna break anything and everything he can in your ride. Security works in stages. The first stage is the most effective, the last is the least. Stage one is keeping the system hidden. If stage 1 fails, stage 2 is deterring the theif from actually breaking into your ride (if its especially difficult, he'll move on to a lesser prepared victim). This is where car alarms start to com into effect. If stage 2 fails, stage 3 is full blown defense of allowing the theif inside the vehicle. This is where alarms are utilized most, keeping the theif out by scaring him and warning other people in the area. If stage 3 fails, you are screwed jewed and tatooed... accept it. Razor blades under the dash and hidden lag bolts aren't gonna save your stuff. If you really want to make a positive improvement on your security 'system', spend the most effort working on stage 1, followed by 2 and 3. [/QUOTE]
