ill keep that in mind but what im talkin about is the plug that goes from the back of the thing into the ipod do they have thos but for regular aux jacks 1/4' headphone style

I wouldn't recommend that radio because of its size, it would attract to much attention from someone who might steal it

im not too worryed about that
simple because i have a alarm and i can detach it so if im gonna be gone from my car for a long period of time im good
and when i am away from my car its under servalence by my school work or its out front of my home and my horn is very loud and id wake up if i heard it..
but i know what ya mean tho

if you get a radio that has an rca input in the back you can splice a headphone jack to rca cable and use that but otherwise I'm not sure it's been a while since I last looked but I'll check around

a majority of people don't pay attention to car alarms, and its not hard to break into a car without the alarm going off

I agree fully. they sell a tool that designed to be a spring loaded center punch and it can shatter a window without setting off the vibration sensor on your alarmthen you can compromise the alarm and it will all take less than 2 minutes literally.

I was referring to using a slim jim to pop open cars, I have one that came with my car. Every once in a while me and my friends break into another one of my friend's car, put it in nuetral and roll it off to the other side of the parking lot

To stay on topic if you do get that make sure you take that faceplate off every time you leave the car unless you have video surveillance...

most car alarms are triggered 2 ways. one way is the vib. sensor the other is buy the dome light cicuit so when the door opens the light turns on and triggers the alarm. but you can eleiminate all that buy disconecting the battery then you have all the time in the world to do what you want inside the car. the biggest way to stop a thief is don't let them know you have it. remove you faceplate and turn the volume down a few minutes before you get to where you're going to park.

budgray19 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 22, 2008, 07:17:52 PM »

well they cant get to teh batt along as i dont turn my steering wheel all teh way to teh left
thats the only way to reach my batt lol its in the left wheel column

teepee · « **Reply #44 on:** May 22, 2008, 07:28:23 PM »

you don't need to actually get to the battery just either the pos or ground if either are disconnected from the bat then nothing will have power but with no vib sensor in you car you don't have to worry about setting off the alarm if you don't open a door so a thief would'nt need to worry. so take propper precaution and don't make it easy besides with gas prices the way they are they won't even bother with the radio they will take you gas.

budgray19 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 22, 2008, 07:49:31 PM »

lol yea
but even still hed have to pop the hood and even if he did then a cam will get him

looks good but I think you will still need an amp install kit and check to see if you need the antenea adapter and you really should get the factory harness adapter so you don't need to cut any wires.

Reaper · « **Reply #47 on:** May 22, 2008, 08:45:00 PM »

why are you getting an amp?? The new deck has built in amplification...

budgray19 · « **Reply #48 on:** May 22, 2008, 08:46:50 PM »

ok harness comes with my radiodeck
and ill just buy the speakers here and i can get them cheaper
i dont know what the antena adpter does
im not worried about wires the manuale and teh deck comes with everything i need or at least the guy that i talked to at crutchfeild said it did

btw reaper 17 watts isnt

when my speakers can take 75 to 100 watts rms

budgray19 · « **Reply #49 on:** May 23, 2008, 10:32:32 PM »

ok so help me out here guys

so i want a amp that can pumpa bout 75-90watts RMS and 200 max
because my speakers specs are sayin that my front speakers are runnin at 75 watts RMS and 150MAX
and my rear 6X9's are runnin at 100RMS and 200 MAX

would it be best to get a amp that has a fan in it because im gonna try to put it under my seat
or just in my trunk lol

teepee · « **Reply #50 on:** May 27, 2008, 11:11:18 AM »

having a fan on the amp will help with over heating but only if it has airflow to begin with. under the seat isn't a good place for an amp because there isnt enough air and the upolstry acts like insulation. the trunk works better and the best way to mount it is vertical and with space around it.
