Is an alarm worth it?

I'd get an alarm before anything else. I can't count on one hand how many times my alarm has saved my car (and it's a p.o.s.).

Interior sirens also come in handy. Can you say pain inducers?

Got my install in today too!

I like how they did it, nice and clean.

Made a mistake though, I thought that since my amp is a 3 channel, and I'm just installing speakers. I would think that the amp would believe that there would be no subwoofer input, since there is none and direct all the bass to the speakers. I was wrong though, the amp acts like a crossover even though there is no input to the bass channel.

So basically this forces me into getting the subwoofer first. Regardless however, the speakers sound good. Install was clean. I should be getting a sub in 3 weeks MAX.

not at all, just turn off the HPF on the amp and set channels 1&2 for full range instead of high-pass.
should be a simple switch on the side of the amp.
put it back to HPF when you get a sub.

lets just say an alarm wouldn't hurt. They help for the baby thefts. But for the real guys, if they want to steal your car they will, if it takes killing or getting a flatbed and off with your car. So yes they help but not to the extent of totally stopping someone.
