    Cool LI Dual or Quad... ?

    I have just purchased and installed LI Dual up front and a V1.

    I have searched and read that one person has M27's covering his F150 ok, and others say no way will 2 heads be enough.

    Can someone comment on whether or not I need to move to 4, or if 2 works? I'd rather not wait until AFTER a ticket to figure it out.

    Thanks Everyone!

    I would get the LI Dual. I have it on my truck and it has done quite well both in the real world and in testing.

    Unless you're protecting a tractor trailer or motor coach a dual will be fine up front.

    Another reason to go quad is to put heads in the rear.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    Take a look at this LI Dual protecting a Ford Tranzit Van... Almost two years and counting

    LI Dual on the front will be perfect, quad if you want rear protection. Check out our recent Atlanta Jammerfest results for Swamp's results. He has 350 I believe and his setup was amazing on the MOAC!!

    Two LI Regular heads on the front my white F250 gave me JTG 10 out of 12 times, and the other two times speed readings weren't obtained until 114 - 160 feet. They started targeting me at 1300', so I would have 1000'-1200' to slow down in real life, more than enough time to scrub off 20 MPH. Even if I'm only 500' away I should have enough time to slow.
    My rear protection wasn't so good. It was JFG 6/12 runs. The Ultralite LRB destroyed me.

    Category4, I think you were the one I read about with the F150 having the M27. Thanks for the advice.

    Is rear laser becoming more of common practice? I have never really seen anyone around here shooting at the rear of traffic?

    JTG with an F250 can't be an easy task, and since I have little reflective chrome up front and a slightly more sloped front end, I am thinking LI dual in front is good.

    If you had the HP heads in the rear, would that have made a difference? Or, is the back end of pickups just too big of a "mirror" to hide?

    And...Can you mix and match LI heads? 2 regular up front, and 2 HP in back? The HP just adds an extra diode, right?

    Thanks!

    And you never will. I mean seriously, do you regularly drive around searching your rearview mirror for hidden cops? That's one of the reasons it's so deadly.

    Im getting ready to get a dual LI setup...or I thought Dual Until I got F***** friday morning leaving town and got lasered in the rear--Never new it or saw him till he was on my asss--79 in a 65. I was pissed. Not that it matters but My V-1 never made a peep either...lol

    SO I need to pony up the money for a Quad set up. But Im not sure how great 2 LI's in the rear of a Lexus GX470 will do? Its a big square end back there
