That's the risk you take will everything you own. First off, you own a honda. Honda's are known to be stolen in general. If your worried about someone stealing your stuff, than you bought the wrong car.
The best you can do is get an alarm. If you want a system, I say go for it. You don't have to get subs. You can get a deck, and some good quality components.
Here are some tips if you do get a system. Just try to keep a low profile. Don't play your system loud around your house or if your going to someone's house, otherwise they'll know you have a system. If your going to store or mall don't play it loud around the parking lot area. You can turn it up while driving there, but don't blast it in the parking lot.
So in general, if your going to park your car somewhere, make sure you turn down the system when you get close to your destination. Don't open up your trunk if its not necessary. I hardly ever open my trunk. I usually just throw things in my back seat.
I also lock the trunk from the trunk release near the drivers seat. Note: They can still break into your trunk from the back, but this doesn't give them such an easy chance to steal your subs. If you don't lock the trunk release, all they have to do is get your door open, pull the release lever and bam... your subs are gone.
There's nothing you can do if someone wants to steal your stuff. You can buy a gun and stand around your car at all times...LOL. That's about it, but really there's no way of stopping someone 100% of the time. There are only ways to prevent theft.
If you don't feel what I wrote is sufficient for you to get a system, I'd advise you just not get one.
I love car audio, and hate sitting in a car with a bad sound system, so I'm willing to take the risk. I cannot drive without a decent system. This is coming from someone who change their stock deck 2 days after getting my car (it would have been the day I got my car, but I didn't know how to take a part the console area).
So the question you have to ask yourself is how important is this to you??
