nickfs442 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Has anyone tried Snake Eye screws? Was looking to use these for securing my BTL down in my box. Just looking for little security add ons, so I won't have to worry about theives as much.

mbdblue Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 honestly man, I wouldn't even bother. if they already got in your car, most likely they'll just crowbar it (either that or take the whole damn thing). Id save up and get a good alarm.

Robert8252 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Lowes has decent wood screws with different types of heads. Honestly anything besides a Phillips or flat head is better then nothing. Assuming they can't take the whole box. And a recone is cheaper then a new sub if they go ^ that route 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id save up and get a good alarm. yeah I know, this is just until I can afford a security system. I have the box bolted down to my trunk frame already.. where I live people don't really steal systems, but where my friends are from they do. I just want my stuff to be safe.. some of my 'mutual' friends are sketchy and I don't trust them anyway.. I looked at parts express, and those security screws have bad reviews on them stripping right away. These snake eyes look pretty reliable, but I don't know where I could find them online 2 18's Wall Build Under Construction My YouTube 2000 Mercury Cougar Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im fine with just paying for a recone instead of a whole new sub. I should have said that before people started telling me to just get an alarm system..lol. And no, my sub box is bolted and locked down to my trunk 2 18's Wall Build Under Construction My YouTube 2000 Mercury Cougar Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 For like 4 bucks you can get a set of bits with everything under the sun in it. Are you really that worried about someone running off down the street with a BTL under their arm? If they have long enough with the vehicle to unscrew a big-ass sub from the box then you're pretty screwed (excuse the pun) anyway. EDIT: If they get pissed off they'll jam a crowbar/claw hammer under it and just pull hard. Then it's a battle between the MDF, the screw and the basket... and since you've probably built a strong box and you're gonna use big screws, you'll just come out in the morning to a smashed up sub. 10.x volts fo' life!

Haha. Well it is an N2.. which is only like 45-50 lbs. Not the regular 70 pound beast. and where could I find the set of bits for 4 bucks? 2 18's Wall Build Under Construction My YouTube 2000 Mercury Cougar Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjay Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I prefer to use Robertson screws (square hole), since they don't strip as easily as snake eyes, and are difficult to remove with common tools...thieves don't usually carry a robertson bit, but they all carry phillips and allen bits Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
