* Suggestion I heard that I always thought was pretty neat;

Sure, you've got your box and amps all tied down; But what about the woofer? Use different headed screws to secure it to the box - an allen, a phillips, a torx - Worst case scenario they punch your woofer in instead of stealing it, but at least they leave feelin' like the shmuck they are.

put a taser inside the door ran to the door handle. i'm not technically advanced to do so, but someone probably is. put a switch in underneath somewhere, some kind of mechanism to pull the trigger when the handle is lifted.

i dont have fold down rear seats so i secured my rear seat in to make sure i cant jst rip it out, then i made sure the only way to open my trunk is to unlock the chain after u pop it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif bolt cutters will be a must to get into my trunk. then i used some square head screws and allens on everything, it doesnt match but what theif carrys around a set of allens and square heads? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

there is a security system in Columbia or something, since a lot of car jackin happens there also, there flame throwers on the side of the car, so it ignites when you press a button.(but its only for car jacking,not car thiefs,you have to be inside the car to do it)

want to piss someone off?

Use allen and security bolts everywhere. Use a good grade that way you cant just drill them off. Alternate where you use them. IE if the amp is held down by 4 bolts, use 2 different bolt types on it.

Get some steel security cable. It can be cut with the right tool but if you hide it well it would be a major ***** (crimp on a loop or get cable with a loop in it already, bolt that to the amp, use loctite, epoxy, weld it, whatever it takes. Do this to the sub box also. use a short run of cable and hide it behind carpet. That way even if they manage to unbolt the amp the amps/box wont move far.

Backup alarms are a must. If by some magic they disable your primary alarm you should have at least 1 BACKUP alarm. In reality the more the better. How about 10 piezo sirens going off all in the trunk? Hide them well, make them impossible to get to. I've seen someone encase a siren in epoxy on the sidewall of his trunk. Looked like a big mess under the carpet but you could not get them up easily. Good luck shutting them up. The only way to kill them was to pull off all the carpet and alot of trims, remove his rear seats and more trim, till you finally got to where the control modules and batteries were hidden, also in epoxy. He had a keylock kill switch there.

Weld a steel frame that cant be removed without cutting or removing heavy gauge locks. For added benefit encase things in an plexiglass case attached to the inside of the steel frame. Good luck removing or GETTING to anything when its behind 1/2" to 1" plexiglass and locked up tight.

BTW. Tasers, Electrifying your car, Razors, Anything that can cause real physical harm is illegal. It's considered boobytrapping and that's very illegal.

By the time I'm done with my system it's going to be heavily fortified. The most they'll be able to do is smash my carpc's touchscreen up front, or wreck the front components. That is If they manage to get into my car. I already have Piezo's hidden throughout various parts of my car. Once I get to installing my alarm I'll be adding backup circuits.

I can have the most tricked out alaram, glass breakers and hide all the stuff and install 1000 pinzos. Still some way or another if some one wants my shit they will get it.
Whats thebest way to secure down amps and sub boxes. Like with bolts? how can i do it so it takes hours to take out. I know this sounds dumb. But if some one wants my shit they will get it.

Or am i better off getting an alarm for 300$ throwing another 5 more sirens and hoping they give up?

Whats the best physical security to keeping your stuff safe??

(besides LOCKING the doors, and not showboating)

Well u know thats jus the risk we run when buying these things for our cars, i believe the best way for a sub box is just to bolt the box down to a false floor by bolting the box through inside the speaker chambers, for amps i would hide razor blades on the amp so when they go to grab them they would slice their hands up

i have the viper 2-way pager, but i wish they would come up with an alarm that would call your phone. the pager doesn't wake me up at 3 am.

how about custom-fabricating an all stainless steel enclosure by welding it onto the cars chassis. and then welding the subwoofer into the enclosure that is welded onto the car. then weld speaker wire to the terminals. or if u want to be absolutely fool-proof, run stainless steel from each terminal but make sure you have insulation around this steel. you can also take the PCB out of your amp and weld it somewhere underneath your car. for the head unit you can take some sheet metal and weld it onto the head units chassis. then weld the solid piece onto the cars chassis. and instead of using an alarm, you can weld your door handle shut so no one can open your door even if they bypass your alarm somehow. you can also weld one of those old-school U-locks you use to use for your mountain bike onto the steering wheel so that when thieves look in they say eww this car is not worth stealing.

you could just buy a panzar tank and park at the police station and walk home
