do speaker grills = STEAL ME ?

i an effort to get in as much (quality) as i can while still retaining the "stock" look...i am confronted with a problem in the rear of my 1989 Honda Accord 4Dr DX...how to mount the rear speakers...

the DX model I have, did not come with rear speakers, thus NO GRILLS...

my plan is to install a pair of Ininity 6.5" coaxials (to match the front) in the rear deck (for rear passengers only). i dont think i should use the included grills b/c i think that would be too much of an invitation....but is was thinking about some average looking grills or make my own...

so, finally my question to everyone is....WOULD ANYTHING OTHER THAN pure STOCK, LOOK CUSTOM, & inviting to thieves??......tHANK yOU

well, if you are truely that concerned a guy might steal your 6.5" infinity's then you might consider getting an alarm and just use the infinity grills.  Also, depending on what model of Infinity's you have, you can take the logo off that says infinity, then it will just appear as a black speaker grill. 

Option 2:  Call around to your local junk yards and see if someone has a 4door accord that has rear speakers and purchase the factory backdash that has the grills on it then install that.

You also maybe able to find some generic speaker grills through crutchfield or local vendor that may do just the trick.

thanks man...im gonna call around....

yeah, (& ironically) its entirely NOT the rear 6.5"s that im worried about, its everything else!....

maybe i just ditch the rear-fill.....screw the tag-aolngs anyway!

Well if you have other stuff in the car, you should probably get something to protect your investment.

IE an ALARM, but bottom line, is if someone really wants to steal your stuff they will and no alarm or factory panel will stop them.  You may even be in the car when they do it, but at least with an alarm you will deter the idiots that are just looking for the easy score.

Another option is to use whatever grilles you want and just tint the car with the back window(s) at 5% privacy tint. 

Would be theives won't see anything.  The thing is I don't think many theives would simply steal a set of 6.5s or 6x9s or something, but they might try to break in if they see some aftermarket stuff like that, a head unit, etc. because they might just want to get the HU or hope that there are amps/subs for them to steal.

If you don't have an stereo with amps, subs and an expensive HU (which you should remove the faceplate from anyhow) then I'd just go with the tint.

here is an idea. Out of sight, out of mind. So if you can't see it, then you don't think about. But here is a good idea that has worked for me, and still saved my car audio equipment. 1 I went with a car alarm that had a motion sensor (radar) that detects movement outside the car. 2 I also installed a voltage transformer to electrify the door handels, which is like getting hit with a 500,000 volt stun gun. Believe me the person that tried to break into my car, got knocked unconscious, and was arrested. But that's as far as he got. Yes the alarm did go off, but he wasn't going to stop until he got something out, well he got knocked out. Ha, Ha. But even if he got to the inside of the car, all my amp's, speakers, crossovers are mounted with security screws. A theif may carry a prybar, screwdriver, and pliers. But he doesn't carry security tools to take them out. A theif want's to get in, and out, not spend time trying to get loose these screws. Hope this helps

thanks to all for the excellent advice!...i think i will try underside mounting them, then covering with a acoustically transparent covering....this will also help re-juvinate the worn & faded rear deck material...

i will paint the grills on my tweeter components in the front though....they are small but do kind of stand out...they're silver against the marroon backdrop of my door.

wow, T.c. thats getting aggressive...i like it! Did paranoia set everytime you would go to get into the car? i know it would for me...i scream like a little girl everytime i get shocked from static elec. in the winter!
