Well i got some subs and an amp in my trunk. nothing special. Soon im going to have a new set up. I will have about a grand into my system and would hate to have someone jack it. With our small trunks and the way their set up whats the best way to hide them? I cant use the shade thing due to the sub box. Maybe i should just tint the back windows. Does anyone else have this fear? That someone could steal their systems? I wanna know what you do about it. thanks
Are you afraid of thiefs?

hey i've had my two JL's in the trunk exposed and had no problem so far. i dont know about you but i have a targa roof and i cant throw it in the trunk if that sub is there. so i might build a new box in the spring to fit under that plywood where the spare tire goes.
depends on the area i'm parking in
I have some nice stuff in the hatch, if its a real bad area I simply won't park there, plenty of other places, and a walk from a further parking lot does the body good

put them on the backseats either folded down or removed, with the rear and sides tinted, its barely visible unless you have a high contrasting sub colors....A two way alarm system is nice too
I know this is going to sound assinine, and it shouldn't be, but don't any of you have a cargo cover? You know, the one that pulls out from the bar behind the rear seats and covers the entire cargo area? I have expensive tools in the back as well as parts needed to go on the car, and no one can tell because they look in the back and see nothing but a cover. Of course, there's no obvious bulges in the cover either, so they have NO WAY OF TELLING what's back there.
Don't have subs in the supra, have no need for them in my mainly performance focused car, don't really care about sound in it either, been rooling with a "stolen" faceplate for awhile. Best thing was when it was stolen, the neo and avc-r was pushed in front of the heater controls and ash tray, they where taken down from there and left on my shifter boot, like I don't want this shit and took the faceplate, shit happens when you leave the doors unlocked.

Problem solved
yeah I thought of that. The only problem is that its hard to make a box that small. I'm going to have to make a huge box to fit two 8inch, one 12inch, and two 6X9's in it and still have room for two amps and a capacitor.
Maybe you should get some smaller components then.
Small/low boxes are around for purchase and also very easy to make.
I personally think stereo systems are stupid and pointless. (The bigger/louder they are, the more they piss me off).

I have an idea...this is what i PLAN to do when I get more money..let me correct myself...when i get any kind of money. But what i have going for me is I removed the backseats and I plan to mount the subs right behind the seats where the backseats used to be..it could be worth it to ya.
Whatever option you end up with, if you want it to work, it will mean making the equipment invisible.
That said, 2x8, 1x12, and 2x6x9? WTF?
First, 6x9s suck. Get a set of 5.25inch components and put them in the stock location beside the rear seats.
Second, why the collection of subs? 2x10 will fit in the spare tire well, and produces more than enough sound. Unless of course, you are one of the guys who wants to drive around in a portable concert machine, and plans on being stone deaf before they have kids.
