Well im sitting here thinking of what i can do to make my shit for harder to steal and this is what i came up with.

1. Using 4 different screws, different heads making sure they were atleast 2 1/2 inches long as some theifs stick screw drivers under the amps and jus pry short screws up
2. Chaining it down to 4 clips coming off my chasis
3. laid wood under the carpet and screwed the box, amps, and everything to the wood, bolted the wood to the chasis, and used 90 degree fastners for the box
4. chained the head unit in the back to the chasis of the car

As you see I am very very very paranoid about my car. If anyone else has any tips then post em! Other wise you might want to try some of those tips i stated above

no need in going all out what are the chances of someone actually breaking in and taking their time to try to unbolt anything

with the mentallity level of a thief i know enough to say thay will not be carrying around a torx bit, esp the one with the funny little dot in the middle :D

the last thing a thief will have to worry about when breking into my car is what tool they didn't bring, they should be worrying about the metal bat thats going to their head within seconds of even coming near my car
