RyanJ Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 When I went to High school i had 4 crappy 12" sony xplodes.. (I know how they got there names..). and i never turned it down going anywhere. Everyone knew I had them. There were multiple cars that got there stuff jacked, but i was never one of them. So I guess its just the luck of the draw.. really. Mine were in a trunk though. I mean, at least in a trunk, you can't see what it is to determine if it's worth going to jail to take or not. In a TRUCK, like a backseat, you can see everything fine, and even if you can't, you just break a window and you can check it out in a short amount of time. At least if its in a trunk, you have to break a window, open the trunk, go around, look at everything, etc. That would give me enough time to stop whatever I'm doing and grab a bat on the way and save my system. Am I just speaking words or does this make sense?

Quiet Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 A car alarm? Lol If wired correctly and with attachments, it'd be almost impossible to disarm. Don't put stickers on your car Don't show it off at your school Don't play it while going into a parking lot to park somewhere... Don't play it while in your own neighborhood. Throw a blanket over it if your going to be gone for a while? x2 This is the best way to protect your gear. But I understand that it would suck to have all that but not be able to show it off. Be a little cautious of where you show off, and at school find a really conspicuous place to park so if anything happens someone will see. Also, get a 2 way alarm. Don't be afraid to bolt if you hear it go off... I'd take detention over having my system stolen any day. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.

Quiet Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'd forget the civic... drop that taco on 20s, bag it, and wall it. Can't you just unbolt the rear seats and take 'em out? Your box would sit lower and not be as conspicuous... 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomabanga1986 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 do like i did my setup, a downfire box with amps mounted under it u have to take out both front seats to get the box out to even get to the speakers and they sound killer like this in those trucks too my cuzin had the 4wd version of the truck ur talking about and with a mejestic 600w and a orion 2nt 15 in a downfire box it was loud as hell downfire boxs work better in these trucks due to the sound not wanting to couple right with regular boxs from all the different boxs ive had in my truck and different setups a sealed downfire was the best one, sealed aint always bad, and mount ur amps under the box and wala how i did mine i set my drivers seat where i like it the most, then i measured from top and bottom depth, then the hight i wanted and then i went to the recomended box for the sub and did some tweeking and it works good, sounds killer on every song ive played on it, but my box was devided tho, better to help with flex and what knot i dunno the spl values with a box like this but it sound pritty damn good and moves some air too my new box will either be a forward faceing box ported to drivers side or a downfire sealed, doing to work some things out here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanJ Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I still don't know what to do besides a blanket and bolting it down to something. I was also thinking about doing something sort of like the pic in the link dkhan gave me (http://www.gizmo-central.com/diy-gizmos/build-your-own-hidden-beer-fridge/) . Like, build the box, put some cardboard on each side, then get another piece of wood that I can fit over the whole box, and also add some cardboard to that and put it on when I'm not using it. And tint the back windows. Anybody have any other advice?

barnmaster98 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 go on ebay and buy an alarm system for less than $100, i did, actually i got the kit that contained power door locks too so that if i hit the button it locks the doors and arms the alarm and it was less than $100, so to me that seems like the best route to go, i mean whats $100 and a couple hours work compaired to replacing your sound system? but thats my $0.02 Currently: 2012 mazda 3 skyactiv sport Mtx 300 amp 10" alpine sub Stock head unit Everything else stock (RIP) 1997 Ford ranger splash reg cab mtx 300 amp 10" alpine sub Sony deck Sirius player placed in where my passenger airbag should be Aftermarket power door locks Aftermarket alarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-train-13k Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 if your only going to have the car for 6 months why put it in at all? just buy some decent 5x7's and put them in the back doors and a component system up front. best way to avoid having stuff stolen is for there to be nothing to steal. build a nice box for the car your GOING to have and just keep it in the garage. that way its built just for that car. seems alot easier that way. if its just a A to B car then whats the point in having anything in it thats nicer than the truck itself. i had a standard ported box just sittin on the bench seats in my truck and it sounded like garbage. i would just wait man.

bassinblazer Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Take your back seats OUT since they will be useless anyway and bolt that bish to the floor. Don't hook up any neon lights that may stay on when you get out of your truck, make sure your amp doesn't have one. Get a carpet on that box that matches the interior, tint the windows, and a cheap car alarm helps. BassinBlazer JL[RF][Kenwood][AQ] I need a new amp! Sell me your amp!
