OUCH! Sorry to hear, Jorge. Why can't people just leave stuff alone that isn't theirs? Karma will bite them in the a$$ some day.

Don't let some jerks bring ya down! Is insurance going to cover everything for you? Hopefully so. I can understand leaving everything out if you are going strictly performance, but if music and tunes are what you love, don't let them discourage you, get a system back in there!

Wow bro, that sucks... I'm not saying a word though... lol.. But, this IS why I won't do a install in a hatch.. ZERO security.. I would be making broham pay for things though, weather it be in money or flesh..

Sorry to hear... That sucks.I remember when I had my Solo's stolen along with my PPI amp back 16 years ago, they opened my trunk like a can opener. I was so mad that I went a couple of months w/o a radio, I took a piece of cardboard and stuck it where the HU was and wrote F*** Y** on it.I finally calmed down and got a crappy HU and called it done for quite a few years. Now I stick to small systems, and everything must be hidden. I'd love to get a Double Din with Nav, but just too afraid someone will want to steal it that I went with a single din.

yeah you all are right i shouldnt let me down but its just the fact that it may happen again it ticks me off. I already have a few things lined up a set of p3 10 in subs, and a 1500 rms mono block amp from rockford, and another Double din but I might hold off maybe when I get out of houston in about a yeah or so

When you DO get over this (and you will, it could take a while, and I DO know the feeling) let me know and maybe we can come up with something that will make theves think twice (or work REALLY hard) about ganking your stuff again..

Oh, man, Jorge. That's just awful to hear. Make your bro feel as guilty as possible; maybe he'll chip in for part of the deductible.

Let me know when you decide, I might be able to point you in the direction of some really nice things(none of mine, unfortunately), used, but solid things for the audio... I'm on a few audio forums and 90% of my install is used, oldschool gear... I can get you better for the same as you would buy new... Like a nice 5ch amp, run everything out of one chassis... maybe some killer subs..? something to consider.. up to you 100%

Your situation really hits home with me. I'm in Houston (suburb), with a double DIN in my 04 Vibe. Dual 10's in rear. We were twins, but this validates the way I'm so (removed) about all my cars being in the garage anytime they're not occupied. Sorry to hear about your loss, I've always said the life of a theif has no value. Catch 'em and kill 'em like the rodents they are. Be a hero on the news.

That sucks! Maybe you would have to resort to my "ANTI-THEFT" methods.I used to epoxy razor blades to the back of my stereo. It was a PITA when it came time to replace dashboard lights and such... but... when someone attempted to steal my head unit I got some satisfaction. My passenger side windows was smashed on my GMC Safari van, but there was a trail of blood leading away from the VAN And the Sony head unit was still in my dash.
