i have been thinking recently and have come up with some good ways of protecting you car audio. they go like this
Head deck= since i work in a car park all day i always see people who have installed the head deck buy contecting the wires and pushing it in, i'm not sure as to any other commodore models but in my vk i have 2 screws at the back of my dash holding the factory deck in place, why not take another 5 mins and screw your deck in as well??
Amps = Alot of cars i see have bolted there amps under the parcel shelf, this is not a good idea, the heat from the amp needs to escape and when it is under the parcel shelf the heat leaves the amp, and does it do? go straight back into the amplifier, heat does rise.
In my opinion the best way is to bolt it to the back of the back seat, then get clear perspecs (excuse the spelling) cut it out to the size of your amplifier and leave 5 cm all the way around. Then bolt the clear perspecs (excuse the spelling) to the back seat leave about 3 cm in front of it for the heat to escape.
Subs = quite simple, don't just put it in the boot, some how find away to screw or bolt it to the floor using a nice big bolt, it won't move. If you can some how do it.
Speakers = from the recent models of 6X9's i see there is always i bolt hole half way between the magnet and the cone, why not just bolt it in. won't take long
they might not be the best ideas but it will prevent them going anyway to quickly, i would especially recomdend doing that in older model commies, after all a 13 year old knew how to get into mine!!!!!!!
cheers
