OK I purchased a tri ALP kit so what to do with the 3rd head?
1. Put it in the front of the vehicle even though it is completely not needed as 2 heads is more than enough.
2. Put it in the rear for a little protection until a 4th head can be purchased.
3. Sell it.
Put the 3rd head on. I will call or text you later.
Put 3rd head on.
Dont sell it ---use it
Seeing how well the ALP has done for me jamming, I would throw a single rear head on the rear (with the understanding that it will not offer the total protection like 2 heads will).

Is that really true? I thought it really depended on the size of your car?Quote:

I would purchase a 4th head and install them on the rear.
Was told that by a very reliable source. I'm adding a third head to the front of my car. No chrome up front, just more protection. VPR guns are everywhere where I live unfortunately. The city I live in uses them now almost exclusively.Quote:

That's what I thought. I have seen a lot of videos with 2 heads jamming VPR guns just fine. In fact, the only one I have seen with 3 on front was a truck.Quote:

(For example next to the head lights and leaving the center mass open) If the car is an average size car and your sensors are centered but around 18" to 20" or so apart you will be fine but if you have the sensors spaced 3ft apart you will get close PT's Use the photo's from past testings as a guide or if you have questions post up some photos and we will give you the best placement ideas.Quote:

Decided to use the 3rd head on my car's front rather than my wife's car.
I am getting a third head for the front to be extra secure.
