    I'm actualy thinking about just getting 2 quad LI setups one for the front, one for the rear just for ensured protection because JFG'ing seems to be difficult, whitch I still don't understand why because it seems like the farther away you are from the laser gun the better jamming preformance you get because the beem is bigger and it doesn't have to send out as many pulses as it does when its alot closer to the gun. Anyways, I'm thinking something like this for the rear of my SRT4.

    Also, is it possible to some how change the way the alert sounds just so I know whitch LI is going off? Thanks everyone. [/img]

    Your going to spend $2 grand on just laser jammers?


    Like I said 1 LI tapped to the top of my trunk was enough to jam center of mass and plat shots but didnt protect the very edges of the lights...

    So 1 LI on a small car right above the place should give near full jam for 95% of the back area.. 2 heads would give you 120% on a small car, and a 4 head system is just overkill.

    I wouldnt mind spending that much on LJ's as long as I get the performance I want, and I'm going to be going on a long trip to wyoming, me being at the bottom of south carolina I'm going to pass through alot of different areas possibly some whitch laser atlantas are used :shock: so I want to feel protected. Moneys not really an issue for me like I said but if a quad LI for the back is over kill I guess just a quad in the front and dual in the back? Oh and what about the different tone for the 2nd LI is that possible?
    And I forgot to mention this in my last post, I was going to have one of those custom LJ installs where the heads go IN the car because theres no place to actualy just put the heads without 'making room'.

    I agree - four on each aspect would be overkill.

    If overkill is what you're going for, you'd be better served layering protection using different combinations of jammers.

    As we've all recently seen, these items are not immune to malfunctions.....

    Oh and andrewaz, may I ask what gun you used for your single head LI testing?

    I'm still questioning if it's actualy overkilll or not I mean if you think of it one way, a quad LI setup for the front against a PL3 is way more than you need but what about a gun thats hard to jam and with JFG'ing whitch everyone says is hard to acheive on here?

    Yes, but what happens when you've just blown-past the trap?

    You're starting off at a lower range - with a narrower beam.

    I see what you're saying.

    But think of it this way.

    Obviously, you'll get excellent reception/coverage with the more heads you have - but that's only half the battle....the other half is actual jamming performance - and if the algorithm is less-than-optimal (remember what RaxerX observed, with the Stalker), then it doesn't matter how many heads you have.

    Two heads is more than sufficient to cover the spatial area occupied by your vehicle's front and rear profiles (two heads on each aspect) - more is overkill, and I'm not sure it's "smart" overkill.

    It would reason, to me, that if your budget is into the $2K+ territory, that you'd go with more layering, instead, and pair the LI with either a LPP or AL, or even a Blinder or ZR3.

    This way, not only can you account for potential "holes" in the protective capabilities of each (ie. "synergy"), but you'll also have "built-in" backup, should one system, or the other, fail.

    The only worries in this scenario would be eliciting jam-codes, and the potential for cross-talk.

    oops just posted slightly after you did haha!

    Anyways, so what your saying is just get different types of jammers for the rear? I was thinking that before, maybe a dual LI and all 3 ZR3 heads in the back? Do you think that would work pretty good? I know it wouldn't be as good as a dual LI and a dual LPP but it's just 2 LI heads preform better and cost alot less than 2 LPP heads ( I think around 800 right?) Moneys not a problem...but I still like to get the most out of my money!
    Unless a dual LPP is TRULEY worth it I'd consider buying it..but is it? How well do you think a dual LPP with a single LI head would work for the rear?
    Maybe even through a ZR3 in there too??
