damn I can't remove just the face on my radio (http://www.xplodsony.com/products/?CATEGORY=CD&MD=CDX-M850MP) so I guess I have to invent some sort of cage or motorization where the radio can hide or be secured in place, anybody know of any websites where peeps have made something like that?

what kind of stereo is it? I know eclipse makes em without detachable faces and they warranty against theft. Supposedly detachable faces ruins the performance or some crap like that......

I dont know of anything like you're talking about. It would be cool though!

man, that looks nice.
why would you want the face to be removable? do you have a lot of crime in the area?

lol i just caught that. Isnt that one of those radios that goes all black when its off? I thought that was a feature used to deter criminals.....of course these days it almost doesnt matter if it has a face or not. i know guys who take stereos and can order new faces for them........your best bet is to get an alarm and have theft insurance and hope for the best.

hears a Tip, Dont go Quading when ur going to park to see a movie, Or going to the mall. Dont Quad If you plan on staying Away from ur Car for a while. When your Leaving, BLAST THAT SHIT.

I wouldnt mess around with making any custom theft deterrence system. Its just a risk you take when you get better things. But FYI, i seen in an audio mag where they took the face of a stock radio and placed it on there aftermarket one to make it look stock. Then when they wanna play it they just remove it. Just an idea.

Two questions:

2) why do you randomly capatalize words :D

I just wanted to know what quading was lol. Never heard it called that before. But yah, don't blast the stereo before you park it if you don't wanna draw attention to yourself and stereo.

I care because I saw you doing that in other posts, and I just wondered if you only posted when you were high or what... nothing personal ;)

PS: you must type pretty damn fast... using "won" instead of "one" is kind of a product of just flying through something you type.

But the velcro idea is a...clever...idea. Not to helpful once they get in your car, but they might not be able to see what you got.

You know, you could always just anchor the back with some bolts and metal that then bolts into the chassis of the car...

I know one guy who went as far as to jack up the front end of his car, drill holes in the firewall underneath, insert bolts that you can only access when the car is jacked up, and bolt his CD player down with bolts and thick cable, so it can only be removed with the car jacked wayyy up in the front.

Thats Very Tru, But I think that IF they cant pull it far enough to Actualy REALY brake it.if they can pull it out a little, they can really mess it up, but Its like Trying to pick up a dime with out using your fingernails, Its a pain.
