    Default dual ZR3 install.

    I know that the ZR3 is not a powerhouse in the jammer world and just bought one for my 98 GMC pickup. I actually dont feel confident that it is going to do much for the truck. I have been thniking that maybee if I just bought another one and installed both it would increase coverage and performance. The total cost would then be $500. so thats not too bad if this would work.
    So my question is: Since they would both be ZR3 would they work together or interfere with each other?
    Are there any problems you know about that I havent thought of?
    Does this sound like a good idea or just forget about it and use what I have?

    I'd get a dual LI and put it on hte front and put the ZR3's on the back. One save and it has already paid for itself. Just be sure to not use the same ground nor mount the cpu's in hte same vicinity.

    Just curious why you bought if you were pretty sure it would not protect the truck and now double the money to install another set. Quad Blinder or dual LI would have been cheaper in the long run.

    I did it because it was a cheap impulse buy. I know when I put veil on it it will help. Lidar isnt a big threat in my immediate area yet but I want civerage when I make trips where it is.
    Im not interested in spending the money fo an LI yet.
    Thanks for the input.

    Why not put a ZR3 on both cars you have

    3 heads up front and VEIL on your truck is a must though

    I had planned on putting the rear head up front but was told it would cause interference. Its also on Roys video so I decided not to do that.
    I figure that for another $250 which is what I was quoted for a "Professional install"
    I could just get another set and do it myself. Same Money invested but double coverage. 4 heads up front & 2 in back. + Veil. I would be pretty confident with that setup for cheaper than most other setups. I havent heard of anyone else running this setup here. Nobody seems to know if the 2 would work in tandem or compete tho.

    When LIDAR becomes a real threat here Im going LI on the Acura.

    Roy was talking about the ZR4 in his video. The ZR4 didn't cause interference when we tested it, though. In fact, it helped against roof line shots (we installed in a triangle fashion.)

    As for the ZR3, many people installed all 3 up front. It's known as the "enthusiast" (aka in a triangle fashion, be it a right side up, or upside down install) install. Don't know who told you 3 head ZR3 caused interference...

    Too many people think Roy's word is from God and don't realize that some members have been doing the 3 heads zr3 up front for years

    And thanks for your ZR4 3 head up front test you and the CFL crew did.

    Thanks, This is just the kind of info I have been looking for.
    I dont have to use a front plate but I do have a big plastic plate holder on the chrome bumper. I now plan on flush mounting the rear head in it to help. I think this should do the trick. If Roy got JTG on the white Sequia I should be O.K. with 3 heads and veil.

    What would the benefits be to install the rear head upside down?
