Questions about ALP Heads & Placement Suggestions

[jeff106]

Hi,
I currently have a 2014 Ford Taurus and have a Blinder 905 triple head system installed on the front. Living in Houston, TX I have come to learn that my Blinder system is worthless against the present Dragon Eye guns that the local PD have here. Therefore, I would like to purchase the ALP system and swap them out. I have a couple questions though and would appreciate any help or suggestions you all could provide.

1) I was under the understanding that the blinder heads needed to be the furthest thing sticking out on the front of the vehicle in order to create the "barrier wall" of protection. ie. If the license plate face was further out with the blinder heads mounted behind the plane of the plate, then the license plate would not be protected because the "barrier wall" of protection would be behind the license plate plane of view, not in front. (Hope that makes sense). Is this the same for the ALP system? Do the heads need to be the furthest thing sticking out?

2) Below, I have an image posted of the front of my vehicle. I currently have a triple head system installed on the three locations identified by the "red lines". The two in the upper grill were placed to protect the headlights and top grill and the lower red line under the plate was designed to protect the license plate because of the requirement I just described in question 1. (The license plate sticks out further forward than the top two heads). I have been reading that the ALP heads are much stronger and more reliable, so would two heads be suffice to protect the front of my vehicle? Or would the question above still apply, and I would still need 3 ALP heads for full protection on the front?

3) (Disregard this question if you think I still need 3 ALP heads) I have been recommended by a few people that two ALP heads would be suffice, however if that is so, would the "green lines" in the image be an OK location to place the dual system, even with the license plate mounted below sticking out further than the top grill?

I posted the second image so that you can see how the front bumper comes further out at the bottom compared to the top grill and headlight area.

Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!!

With dragons you will need 3 heads up front!

Move the red sensors out to the max edges on your grill and put the 3rd sensor right in the center under the ford emblem--you will be good to go~~~

Thanks for the help/advice. Do all three sensors have to be perfectly in line then? Can I place the two on the outer edges as you suggest in the middle row and then place the center head below in the bottom row of the top grill area directly under the Ford logo? (So the center head will sit a few cm below the two mounted in the middle section of the grill?

Do all three sensors have to be perfectly in line then?- that's preferred, but CM one slat lower should be ok.

Yeah, put the 2 on the "underside" of the FORD emblem slat & at the extreme edges of grill on each side. Put the CM Sensor on the "underside" of the bottom slat below the emblem.

Insure the Sensors are "bubble" level & pointed straight ahead...do not "parallel" the curve of the body !

I would not say 3 heads are required but rather 3 heads is preferred. This is not a large car and we have tested many similar vehicles with JTG performance even against Dragon guns with 2 heads.
