Alarm System vs. Two 10" Subs Options

[CelicaBuddy]

...Well this poll is kinda a given... Im sure a lot of you will say the Alarm System should come first. lol And I know it should come first!

But... The other week I was looking at some alarm systems with my dad. Well my dad could easily concentrate on looking at the alarm systems, while me on the other hand.... I was on the opposite side of the store, checkin out all the Subwoofers and amps. My dad just couldn't drag me away from that section. LOL And to make matters worse, I found the Subs and amp thatd go perfect for my car... And now, I really really REALLY want the subs.

Now I know, is prolly a dumb thing to get without an alarm... considering I have a covertible... And if anything its a real stupid idea to get the subs in the first place. As my whole family likes to veiw this situation they say : "Thats just asking for you convertible to be stabbed!"

I know the risks of having these subs in my car without the alarm, but then again, my family hasn't had much luck when it comes to alarm systems. Each Civic my sister had, had an alarm. An somhow, someone gotta round the alarm system and broke into the car. All Im saying is, is that sometimes, it seems like a alarm system doesn't seem as much help as you'd think.

Welp.... But back to the poll.... Got a round $600 and Im gettin paid soon which'll add at least another $200. Splurge on the Alarm System or on the Sound Sysem.

Get an alarm...period. Spluge on the alarm, and a brake lock, and an auto-taser from ebay. Make sure your alarm has a proximity sensor(radar) to it, and if not buy one. With the soft top, you want you alarm warn away to go off when somebody walks a foot away, and the alarm to go off when someone puts their hands inside the car, or face to the window. If you really wnt to get fancy, you can have the windows and top go up(not latched) when the warn away goes off. After your alarm, then get your stereo, subs, rims etc. My alarm is anal 3 shock sensors,
hood lock, proximity, tilt, glass breakage mic, pager+ brake lock & auto taser. I plan on keeping my car. Even if you have insurance, you always lose on theft.
