My Subs "Cage"

i guess people hear and CARE about car alarms in my neighborhood, i was messing with my car at like 8:30pm and i set the alarm off once and turned it off within 5 seconds, then repeated that haha, and two people on my street came out to make sure everything was okay

this would be better than the link in my 1st post

You are lucky. Alarms are just background noise around here.
When I had my rims stolen I had locking nuts on it. Anyone who wants to steal your stuff is going to get it. locking nuts and alarms just slow them down a bit

That's actually a pretty good idea man; I like it. One of my Jeep buddies told me that when he put his alarm in, he actually put a second siren in the dash facing in the car so if it went off it would practically deafen anyone trying to take out the radio. I just hope his alarm is dang good quality and doesn't go off with him in the driver seat. :th_laugh-lol2:

Your lucky. Not many places left in the world like that unfortunately. That's what I'm looking for when we move though. A decent neighborhood. The place we were at when my system got jacked was a dirtbag nest so I can't say I'm horribly shocked that I got nailed.
 
Alarms around here don't do anything. My alarm went over for over 10 mins at 3:00 AM.. nobody woke up, no lights turned on.. nothing.

what if he needs to take out his stereo, does he have like a way to turn it off? haha
 


Well I finally finished it. Got it all welded together and sprayed with truck bed liner for a cleaner look:

Installed and completed:

Again, I know it's not theft proof, but hopefully it will slow a dirt-bag down long enough for me to have a chance to crush their skull. :th_skull:

:th_thumbsup-wink: That's what I'm counting on. :th_laugh-lol2: Thanks man.

It only takes one wrong 'it will never happen to me,' to make an 'it will never happen to me again.' :th_thumbsup-wink:
 


Good idea Matt, that will fix those scum bags! Nice work!!!

What do you got for a new system? Any luck at the local pawn shops or craigslist looking for your stuff?

Thanks Tim and welcome to the forum! :th_thumbsup-wink:

I got the exact same subs that were stolen because they're cheap and for the money I think they sound pretty darn good. I looked a few times at classifieds, but decided it wasn't worth my time and it was only going to make me more angry. Besides if I did find the slugs that stole from me I don't know that I'd be able to control myself within the confines of the law and would probably end up in prison. :th_shakinghead2: Besides, one of the subs they stole was blown anyway :th_laugh-lol3: and that amp was 8 years old and tired. I replaced it (1200W) with a 3000W which is much more suited for these subs. So at the end of the day it worked out okay.

not to rain on your party but...
1. those subs won't take 1.5kw so that amp is WAYY overrated...
2. i hope you didn't pay to much for it because it won't last long mounted like that.
3. if they where so cheap and 1 was blow why goto jail over it?

4. how do you have the subs wired(ohm) and model of the amp please?

6... i would love the look on a theif's face when he opens my trunk LOL
 
1. That amp is not throwing out 1.5kw RMS. The subs are rated for 50-300 Watts RMS and I'm giving 150 RMS watts to each. Not ideal, I know, but it's better than what I did have and that set-up went for 3 years with no probs.

2. Why won't it last long mounted like that? My last amp was mounted on the box and went for 8 years with no hiccups (possibly would've kept going but there's no way to know because it was stolen).

3. Just because someone stole from me. That's all. The point I was making was that I chose notto puruse them so I wouldn't go to prison.

4. I called a stereo shop and they told me how to wire the subs. I don't remember if I did 2 or 4 ohms. The amp is a 3000W Pyramid, I don't have the model# with me.

6.? (should've been 5. I'm guessing). Why, what do you have in your trunk?
 
well your exposing the amp to vibrations and thats not good for the life of it.
i'll be taking some pics of my car tomorrow
btw those subs are 400wrms on clean power if they hit hard on 150 your clipping them...

There are two versions of the CVR10's - the 300 and the 400. These are the 300's.
