Some Dummy will still steal an Eclipse because some other dummy will buy it.

I am seriously thinking about either a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X959 or an Alpine CDA-7995. They both do everything that I want and should be great electronics.

In California it seems that decks without detatch faces will almost always be ganked if there is an opportunity. Even if it can never be used. I know of 2 Eclipse decks stolen within the last 16 months. And the theives like to do that crap with a battery or high voltage stun gun that shorts/fries your electrical system so an alarm will only do so much.  Even some change or a dollar on your seat may be enough for someone to break your window here. I know because it happened to me when I accidently left my ashtray opened with my spare change visible. But leaving anything visible is just asking for it.

As stated by a member earlier the best theft prevention is to always be in "Stealth-Mode". My system is completely hidden and soon I will be installing a DVD out of view in my glovebox. A nice trick to hide the rear headrest monitors is to buy a pair of sheepskin headrest covers and keep them on all the time except when out on the freeway. Theives out here follow you wherever you are going. And if you are having a system or alarm installed it's best to keep your address confidential and don't leave anything in the car to tip them off to your address.  It's common for dirty installers to pass on that info to theiving friends. But thats common sense.

And what about the idiots with expensive wire wheels held on by knock-offs that park somewhere and expect their wheels to be there when they get back. A close buddy of mine just had one 100 spoke Dayton stolen while parked about a block from the police station. He thought it would be "safe" there.  And these other jerks completely  destroyed the new interior in another friends 71 Chevelle just to peel off his freakin' Dynamat!!! But he was a show-off and let at least 30 peolpe hear how nice his system "was".

Anyway,

DOWN WITH SOUND SYSTEM THEIVES!!!!!!! And PEACE to patient, hard working people who will do the extra side work or whatever to "buy" your own goods instead of ripping off someone else.

i've owend 2 alpines a cdm-7874, and a cda-9815 currently.  I probably won't buy another brand of HU unless I can find a sony cdx-ca90 at a resonable price.  Alpine and older sony es would be best buys.
