    What to do with a 3rd head?

    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.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    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).

    If you're in an area that uses VPR guns, a third head on the front is almost a necessity.

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

    If you don't want the third head, I would be more than happy to take it off your hands

    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.

    Your install is more important than the number of heads. If you car is not large 2 heads will protect it sufficiently even against VPR guns.
    If you missed the RALETC test with two heads its a good read: http://radarandlaserforum.com/conten...-Head-Shootout
