Jammer for a neon?
Well i got a ticket yesterday and no break on it. so instead i am just investing in a LPP. Iv posted ebfore on here and many people said that the LPP is so great, and it will work with the laser guns being used in Michigan. Hopefully
Well my thing is i have a neon srt4, im looking for front and read cover. My idea is to get 2 heads for front and one for rear, how does that sound????
It sounds expensive... :wink: You could get quad LI for that price.
Rear end is pretty hard to protect,because of tail lights,reflectors and the shape of the rear end,wich is pretty flat.
For the front, 2 LPP heads would be enough and you should have good protection with that setup.
Bad thing is that one can only imagine how good is LJ installation,because without testing it with LIDAR gun,you cannot know for sure.
what is the quad LI? I havnt read or heard anything about it yet.Originally Posted by MetalFlame
Yeah, for 3 heads its going to be around 1100$ but worth it. My plan would be to center the rear head or off set it just a little. I do plan on testing it though. Hopefully someone in MI has some laser guns and would like to be up for some weekend testing.
The "LI" is the Laser Interceptor. You really can't be here on these Forums and not have "heard" about it - just look around! :shock: I think you're just unfamiliar with the abbreviation, that's all.
"Quad" means 4 heads - for thie LI, this means two up front, and two out back.
Overall, I agree with MetalFlame - for the budget of a three-head LPP setup, you're likely going to be better off, specifically in terms of rear-protection - in going with the near price-identical option of a quad-head LI system instead.
You will note here that I currently own and use a three-head LPP system, set up just as you planned. And yes, you should also note via searching on these Forums that I am very, very pragmatic about rear-jamming - almost to the point of pessimism.
In any case:
Rear jamming - particularly in terms of true JFG protection - is *very* hard to achieve, even for common passenger vehicles, even for one as small as yours.
The simple fact is that the rear plate is mandatory (and is tremendously LIDAR reflective) - while a single "top-flight" diode-based jammer such as the LPP or AL should be able to effect good-to-excellent jamming performance covering this "point" threat, the rest of the vehicle's rear profile and hard-points (both of which are extremely unfavorable, no matter which vehicle you drive) makes it very easy for PTs to be effected, particularly if the enforcer specifically pans to an alternate target other than the plate, and can even occur if the enforcer simply doesn't have a steady hand.
So far, it is both recognized by-convention here - as well as has been proven through various independent hobbyists' testing - that for most scenarios, to expect full JFG with either the AL or LPP, a dual-head system mounted out-rear is the only way to make reasonably certain that this will happen. Even then, it's still no guaranty.
A dual-LI out-rear, however, has been, at the same time, shown to be extremely effective, even for larger vehicles such as medium to ful-sized SUVs, for JFG performance.
Ironically, for a vehicle such as yours, other trusted members here have gotten *excellent* frontal protection from just one AL/LPP head. Particularly if you're willing/able to run without a front plate and/or are willing to take additional passive protective measures (especially if you have a lighter-colored vehicle), such excellent protection can be expected for a vehicle of your size and frontal profile with just one such head. With that in-mind, I'd "reverse" your originally conceived setup, and instead run with one head up-front, supported by at least some measure of passive protection - and run two heads out-rear, placing them as equidistant as possible between the rear plate and your rear tail-lights.
However, again, as MetalFlame cited above - for that kind of dough, you truly might as well opt for the quad-head LI.
Certainly, the issues of durability/reliability as well as longer-term C/S follow-up/warranty claims are still "unknowns," but from all current indications, these concerns should not be worries.
And here, please don't think I'm being negative about the LI. I've just purchased (and will install this weekend) a dual-head LI system from Elvis (through whom I've enjoyed most excellent pre-purchase and during-purchase C/S) - and I have honest plans to expand this purchase to be upgraded to a full quad-head unit within the next month or two.
At the same time, again to be fair, I've also enjoyed most excellent C/S (both pre as well as post-purchase) from the LPP's NA (Canadian) reps.
I'm just trying to present both sides of the story, in order to help you make your own decision.
A man only needs 3 things in life. Money. Women. And the LI.
What about a car for the LI? I don't think you would want to wear them around.. :wink:A man only needs 3 things in life. Money. Women. And the LI.
No but I would let my girl wear them around. :PWhat about a car for the LI? I don't think you would want to wear them around.. :wink:A man only needs 3 things in life. Money. Women. And the LI.
Thanks for the post.
Im dont really care for the money, if i need to i will shell out the money for a 4head LPP system as long as it works well. In honesty how well does the LI compare to the LPP. Im not talking about money, but in performance cause you said to save my money i should get the LI. If i did that and later down the road i get a ticket, that somewhat defeats the purpose of the jammer. But other hand if i get a LPP 4 heads 2 in front and 2 in rear so i know i have rear protection (only because i just recently got a ticket from the rear) i will shell out the 1300$ i believe is what it will cost. As long as it works.
You said you yourself have a 3 head jammer, how well does it work for you?
you said that you are going to be buying a 4head LI soon??
Also there is new Salker LZ1 algorithm and is also JTG!
muledoe1 if you want to see how well LI works,just scroll thru the threads in this sub-forum.Also check "Detector&CounterMeasureVideos" forum here and You Tube.You'll find a lot of LI videos.
BTW Every LI video I've seen so far was JTFG
