well last night some guy who need it money bad decided to break my driver side window and take my stereo "it cost me 60 bucks" oh well.

so im taking everything else out. which i dont get why some not very smart guy takes a stereo where behind the darn seat there is a huge amp and well the subs

there is no way he can get them out and he didnt care about them since there is no holes in them lol.

so im rebuilding sometime soon .

That sucks. I'm so glad I live in a town where crime is virtually not existent.

Sorry to hear man!

Alarm?

It wouldn't prevent the window from being broken but it would deter from losing the HU.

I always take my faceplate off at night.

i wasnt able to pull har tricks lol so that is what im aiming for this time but that will ask later on my other post on sort of my build

no i didnt had an alarm

That sucks dude! C'mon man, in San Antonio you GOT to have an alarm of some kind! At least your amp/subs are OK though...

sorry to hear that man :/

no i didnt had an alarm

That sucks dude! C'mon man, in San Antonio you GOT to have an alarm of some kind! At least your amp/subs are OK though...

well there is one but it stop working a while ago

and yeah thats on the list now

san antonio = robbed raped shot stabed or molested. everytime. san antonio news is so sad to watch..

sorry buddy.

Only the hu ?!

here, our crackmen would have take EVERYTHING out, even the big box!!! even if they were on a bike !!!!!!!

Sorry for you, but you don't seem too sad!!! It's rebuild time.

BTW I always take off the hu faceplate, night time and day time : you've got to do it like that, and you'll get used to do it!

What kind of idiot breaks into a car and takes the head unit when there is a $700 amp and two $350 subs in the back. If I was a criminal I'd at least steal the stuff worth stealing

probably a criminal that's so far out there that he thought the HU looked like a Hersey bar.

You keepin those 18s or you gettin rid of them? I may want them if you don't.

There's worse...in the 2 out of 4 times i've had my stuff stolen both were "close friends"

that's the thing about thieves.... They know nothing about car audio.

I've talked to buddies of mine before about stuff like this.

You don't ever want a thief break into your car that has lots of knowledge of car audio... he'll steal what means or costs the most...

Typical thief will steal electronics because it's common knowledge that's the most expensive.

However, a smart owner will have those products insured.

So what can hurt an owner due to vandalism or theft or what can criminals get the most money from or at least a guaranteed sale?

I'm gonna speak from a thief standpoint so don't think i'm on their side, lol, because i've had my house and car broken into before and will kill easily if i had to were they in the house with me.

There's a good and bad thing about lots of the following so lets go through them-

Window tint-

It may be good to have to prevent others from seeing inside.. but it also is telling others-"Hey, i need privacy because i have or do something in here that i dont want u to know about!"

Also, when a window is busted with tint on it... it's not as loud and will not create attention either so it's possible for thieves to bust tinted windows in the daylight without drawing any attention at all.

I suggest having the THICKEST bulletproof\breakproof laminate sheeting installed on glass that can still allow windows to roll down properly.

The most expensive things in a vehicle for car audio are the follows-

Battery(ies), Alternator, amp(s), and wire is starting to become $$$.

Sometimes subs and head unit are expensive but not always.

It's hard to steal an alt, lol, but batteries aren't if they are mobile... They need to be extra secured.

Amps are easy to steal if not secured and would be a primary target.

If i were a thief, i would never try to take a head unit due to the sophistication of how they are installed in different vehicles...

Vandalism hurts worse than theft and lots of thieves will just damage product that cannot be stolen.

Bulletproof\breakproof glass can help prevent interior vandalism.

Wire would be great to steal.. but if it's ran under things and through things, that's not likely.

Subs in a box better be bolted down to the car!

Flush mount subs to box so a crowbar cannot be used to pry them out of the box in seconds.

Smart thieves wont steal the box if it's more than 1 sub or notice it's a pretty good size box and know that the box is pretty damn heavy.

So, make sure amps, batteries and sub box are extra secured to the vehicle so no quick access can remove them even in a destructive pattern.

When using a car alarm, make sure you have more than 1 external siren AND have at least 1 external siren installed INSIDE the vehicle.

If they have the time to break through breakproof glass, the piercing of a siren exceeding 130db will make them cringe... i guarantee it.

There's no way to prevent external vandalism but there are ways to prevent interior theft within a certain timeframe.

yes that is my next idea i already bought the alarm and im just waiting for it to arrive. bought and hu for 60 bucks again and im going to make my box 18cf without displacement so im making a new box

oh and yes im keeping the 18's no way im letting them go unless i run stronger amps and subs

that sucks

now why is the amp inthe back seat?

now why is the amp inthe back seat?

i have no back seats but the was behind the front seats under the box showing half of the amp so air could flow

Sucks about your loss I know how it is!
