I'm too much of a family guy for that stuff now but .. back in the day I was one of the first in town to have a sub, built it myself along with the crossover which at the time was unheard of. I had my crap stolen monthly, even with an alarm They could still get crap out using the grip and rip method before I got out of the house .

Eventually I fitted bands of sheet metal around the wood boxes and screwed and glued the metal strips, about 14 guage and 3 inches wide to the boxes (lotsa screws) and welded the sub to the bottom of the trunk. I also tacked the amp and radio to the car under the dash.

All they kept taking after that was my radio knobs. and they'd just rip up some wire because there was no way anything could be taken before I woke up got dressed and turned on the back light.

Taking it out wasn't that bad I switched the system to three cars. A 76 alfetta, a Corona Mk4 and a 240Z. I just had to use a pair of tin snips and then grind down the welds and a spot of paint oh and retack a new piece of angle that I cut off for mounting.

Now though i think they'd just take the whole friggin car or slash the seats out of frustration so nothing is truely safe.
