    Default Placement for Dual AL Heads

    Hey guys, just looking for some placement advice - this is kind of a tough car to put dual heads on.

    I had a single head on, but I just acquired another head from AL and am also having bumper replaced, so this is a fresh start. Placing 1 was easy, but two seems kind of difficult b/c all the grill is slanted except for the bottom center.

    I'm pretty sure I'm putting both up front, b/c I can't find anywhere to put it on the rear. I've posted a pic of it for suggestions, though.

    I've marked off some spots:

    RED = Where the single head was for the most part, about the only flat part of the grill
    BLUE = Had the single here originally, moved it to Red for better protection
    YELLOW = Would I be better with one under a headlight and one in the red spot?

    Thanks Guys

    From the suggestions you posted, I say the yellow.
    But IMHO something like the green would be better.

    I know that the heads are supposed to be level in order to get maximum range on the jammers, should I just place them on the slanted grill and hope for the best?

    Green would be better, but you have to keep the level to the ground

    Nice car!

    Since the front-end-only placement has been covered, I'll try to tackle the rear.

    The rear-end of a lot of these newer cars are a total ***** to snake something "out" of.... For my ZR3's rear emitter, since I didn't want to obstruct plate illumination (this unit's rear head is huge, remember), I mounted it to the lower portion of my rear plate, and simply snaked the wire out of the trunk weatherstripping at that point, and used split-conduit to dress it up a little and to make it somewhat aesthetically acceptable.

    For the AL's much smaller head, I'd be tempted to try to access your rear license-plate illumination cubby, and see if you can't somehow get the line to fit through, while still maintaining decent weatherseal and while keeping your plate still well-illuminated to minimize pull-over chances.

    Best of luck!

    Thanks for the suggestions - I'm trying to keep this thing as stock-lookin as possible. So, is there any good way to keep the heads level (for the green spots) besides putting some extra mounting tape under the heads to even it out?
