Twigz Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 glad ur shit didnt get stolen, to be honest their not really gonna steal ur box, their gonna go for the amp, the sub, so screwing down ur box is pointless. U wanna make sure they can't get the sub out of the box, which than they will take the box, which is when u would screw it down looks good though Fear The Quack!

rusty959 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 This definitely explains the need of screws and brackets from lowes... lol. It would definitely slow a thief down, but given the time they could still get it. Doing anything to keep the subs from being able to be taken out? Remember that a lot of times if a thief is unable to get something, next option is usually to destroy it. 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
