SECURITY SCREWS - What works?

[WOT]

Im going to have to mount my new visonik amp is a very accessable area to anyone that might beak into my car based on sheer box size and what space i have left. My amp has a simply 4 foot bolt down pattern I believe.

Is there a type of screw or special security that can be used?

And ideas appreciated. I was thinking of bolting it to the box with nut and bolt. But that might be overkill if I ever wanna take it off

i used long torx head screws i got from lowes, most crack heads probably dont have star bits in their ziploc tool bag,if they do then they will be caught off guard and it will be a minor inconvenience, but i tried

they are on all the amps and subs, probably 2"+ long

i've never seen a screw like that. they might break in but they aren't gettin pass that screw, i need some myself.

i buy them locally a a Fastenall store here in town its like 15 bucks for 50 and the screw driver is the kicker that bish is like 35 bucks "special order" so you cant pick em up off the shelf and make it super hard for anyone to get there hands on one edit the maker of the screw is "tamperproof"

Those screws are real cool. Lame how the driver is $35 tho. Each set should come with its own chuck.

ahh i dont mind i know not many if any crack head or thief will be in right mind to go to a very uncmmon store looking for a "pin head phillps head screw driver" and i doubt they would even sell a shady person a security screw driver also remember it "special order" wich they really arent they have them in stock just not available off the shelf its all based on security alot of company's use screws like these on all sorts of things ...

any of those screws who's main protection is the little thing coming out of the middle can easily be beaten by a drill and a small bit, the middle part will break right out of you just try drilling it, and then its a normal star head or phillips screw. Granted, how often does a theif carry all this equipment...but I'm just sayin, just so you know
