My System Was Jacked Last Night!!!!!

[Rein]

I opened up my car to find my 2 12's in my box enclosure and my sony xplod head unit stolen. I am so angry right now, I just don't know what to do. So....I need a head unit and maybe just a bazooka tube for cheap. I can't stand listening to my tires on my 20min drive to and from work.

[GSteg]

that sucks...all those money spent on car audio is now gone

i'm hoping you're not thinking about the bazooka bass tube. by no means am i against the products, but they are overrated. for the money of a tube, you're better off getting a 10" or a 12" for under a hundred. whats you're budget? i can help you look for something

[Rein]

probably $150-200 for a head unit and about $150 for subs...the best i can get. If I can save a little space in the trunk, that would be cool, but if not, thats fine.

Have you talked to your insurance company about this, they might help you out with it. And they didn't take your amps?

[GSteg]

Cerwin Vega HED's should be good enough. you can get a 12" for $60.

[Rein]

amp was attached to sub box

Uhhhh, and why would locking the trunk and taking the faceplate become some magical forcefield that prevents theifs from stealing your stereo?

i know what you are going through man, i had my ish jacked too, but now im smarter as to when and where i crank it up, if im coming into park my shit is down, or if im in a neighborhood i dont like, then my shit is down, so as not to draw any unwanted attention. And dont expect your insurance company to do shit for you, mine didnt and i have full coverage.

[elitethug]

u obviously didnt read my thread right, wouldnt locking a trunk and taking ur faceplate off prevent jackers? yes it would prevent some, maybe u should go unlock ur trunk and leave your face on since u dont believe me

I didnt read the thread right? You said take your face out and lock the trunk... please explain to me how thats going to prevent someone from stealing your stereo? Anyone with the right connections can get a new face plate for $100 or less... which, if you are stealing stereos would be worth it since hey its $100 face plate for a $2-300 or sometimes more cd player ~ hey you might even score and get an Alpine/Pioneer lcd screen unit...

And locking the trunk? Two words... screwdriver & hammer... and then say goodbuy to whatever was once "locked securely" in your trunk...

That's exactly how they got in my trunk...I had one of those Sony Xplod head units with the flip faceplate thats not removable, but it just looks black when parked. Worthless piece of shit if you ask me. They made it so it doesn't look like I have a good stereo when my car is off, but obviously thieves know what they look like and target them even more to steal. I'm just getting a Pioneer with a removable faceplate, and I'm taking it everywhere I go. But first thing first, I am getting a good alarm system. Can anybody suggest a good one to me that I could get from Best Buy? What are some cool features?

Oh but wait, I dont know what im talking about do I "elitethug"

Many people will disagree with me, but I still must contest that a car alarm WILL NOT PROTECT ANYTHING INSIDE YOUR CAR FROM BEING STOLEN! Its a false sence of security, sorta like the club, or the autolock...

If you want to "out smart" a theif, you have to start thinking like one. I am looking to hold a chat about car security if yall are interested. Some tricks, tips, and advice as to whats cool, whats just stupid, things to avoid falling into, things to look out for and basically just overall car security. But if no one cares I can think of a better way to spend a few hours of my time!

Im going with the good ol 45 glock/beeper alarm system.
*beep beep beep*
WOooOOOsh (<--the sound of me running out to the parking lot)
click click KABOOM! SpLAT (the sound of some punks brains getting aquainted with my dashboard while jacking my radio)
There now im thinking like a thief.
hehe j/k
I know the thief would have my whole damn car by the time my slow ass made it to my car. sad but true.Not unless i could run from the middle of X location to the middle of a parking lot in less than 45 seconds.
