You used the foam to keep it from vibrating?

Which part? I've used foam in a few different ways.

In the spot where your sunglasses used to be, and that is the control for the DSP? How do you like that DSP ? User friendly, would you suggest it too a first time user of a dsp? Can you give a short review of it basically. I'm thinking about switching to either the helix pro or minidsp. I bought a PPI 88r but I'm thinking of going for a better unit I guess @lowcell

Oh, the foam was there so I would have something to apply the body filler to. I added a little foam behind the controller in order to space the controller out properly. From the reviews I have read I would skip the 88r, a lot of people have problems with it. If you want to stay in a budget go with the minidsp 6x8. If you don't care to spend the extra money the Helix is awesome. I am pretty new to this whole thing but I am really happy with the Helix.

Yeah I already have the PPI 88r I might sale it and go for the minidsp. Its a guy selling a helix pro for $750.00 on caco.com right now I really can't see myself paying out that much, especially after the thousands of dollars I've already spent on all my other gear and I still need two more batts. Before I can start installing. I plan to try and do all of my install, I have some pretty neat ideas of they way I want things put in so I'll give it a shot myself.

Temporarily installed the new amp. The second Zapco will be delivered on Monday.

Comparison shot, PPI P900.4 and P600.2.

I lucked into some awesome new speakers I plan on trying out, Audible Physics 2.5's for the dash. I will be changing them after the competition next weekend.

I ended up working on a friend's car all weekend. I built a box and some a-pillars for him. He will have to have the pillars professionally upholstered, I wouldn't know where to start.

Let us know how you like that zapco. I'm really eyeing the 150.6lx. I'm running a zapco monoblock on my sub and the build quality and appearance is awesome.

Will do. So far I'm very happy with it. I haven't got the tune right yet but it is getting closer.

I've got both amps installed now.

First, threaded brass inserts.

Next, security torx screws.

New cover panel built. Now I just need to mount the plexiglass and wrap the panel in vinyl.

I'm sure you can tell the difference between it and the ppi's ?? Power wise and sq ?

I was actually surprised that the PPI P1000.1 was stronger than the Zapco. The quality of the Zapco once I get everything tuned should more than make up for it. Not to mention, they are freaking S.E.X.Y!!!

Finished up the amp install today. I think it turned out pretty nice.

Behind the seat looks better too.

Last but not least, new speakers, Audible Physics.

You selling those PPI amps by chance? Was about to buy new.

Install looks great BTW.

The 1000 is sold and the 900 will be going in my wife's car. I'll probably sell the 600.
