Is this what you wanted?
Yes thanks.Any ideas on jammer location.My Milan is all black,but my concerns are the waterfall grill and the headlights.I won't be using veil,so i need a good jammer and good placment.
I would think you could get away with putting them down in the bottom black bumper grill under the waterfall grill. Top right and left corners flush with the fog lights. Should be good for protection of headlights and front plate I believe.
Again the best would be in the waterfall grill it self but depending on the LJ you get size will come into play.
I'm deciding between a new Blinder when it comes out,or a LPP.
The LPP does have a bigger head than the LED based jammers. The front end of that auto is a big area to hide.
Diode jammers are the best out right now regardless.
I'd go with LPP unless Blinder has something new coming out in the near future. 8)
Anyone else..
Yeah, LPP/AL is pretty much your best option. With such a big vehicle, it's easier to get big punchthrough with blinders (400ft+)
^ I agree with this set of recommendations - the LPP, especially in a dual-head configuration, should be more than powerful enough to shield that vehicle, even with its pretty awful (speaking only in terms of how hard they are to "cover" :) - I actually do like the car's styling) hard-points.Quote:

As such, depending on the mounting considerations, the different heads could be either easier or harder to mount, but typically speaking, the diode heads are regarded actually as "significantly smaller" than the current crop of LED-based (ZR3, Blinder) heads.

I would, mrcllusb, if at all possible, postpone your purchase until the next round of GOL tests.
Certainly, if you must have protection *now,* then the considerations are different, but if you're more worried about bang-for-the-buck concerns, then awaiting some unbiased hobbyist testing would definitely be best.
There's pros and cons to the purchase of any of today's jammers. :)
X2, I would expect that if you don't use Veil that you will get a punch though with some guns at around 300'-400' though. That grill is killer so any extra measures to reduce any more reflective areas are crutial. I would think by reducing the headlights with Veil you could get a punch through area down to around 150' - 300'Quote:

Well peeps i've got a roadtrip to NJ coming up so today i ordered the LP905 to integrate with my RX65.I needed to keep things simple for my wife and not clutter the new car dash with switches and buttons.Roy gave me a GREAT price on it and i got it overnighted so it'll be here tomorrow.I didn't need any jtg since we only do about 5 to 6 over the psl.Still debating on if i should mount the rear head on the rear just for giggles so that we know when we're being shot from the rear.I would hate to mount it to the front plate and have someone back into the new car and trash it.
^ Congrats on the purchase.
Now, as for that single head, up front, you can try to build an "offset" mount so that it'll be recessed along the same plane as your front bumper.
This will take some creativity and work, but it can be done.
I do have my ZR3 set up the "traditional" way, with two heads out front and one out rear. Since I've also got two LPP heads facing forward and one out rear, I use the ZR3 - integrated with my x50 - to give me a clear, easy-to-reference read-out of where the laser threat is located. Visualizing the detector's display is much easier than looking at the two closely-spaced LEDs that I have set-up for my LPPs. :)
Thanks bro..That's the main reason why i went with the LP905.Pure Simplicity.I don't like having lights,buttons and switches all over.The less clutter the better for me.Plus,like you i can just look at my RX65 screen and see what's firing.Then i can decide to double tap my directwire smartcord mute button and send them into recieve only mode.

This is my suggestion. I know you bought the LP905 so i would but the heads where the yellow is.
That is exactly where i planned on putting them. :D
