Team Zapco Kills in Cali

March 9, 2015 by team_z

WCA at Drive 3

Team Zapco does it again out here in CA, thanks to the Zapco LE and LX amps, and of course, Team Zapco West Coast captain Jim Becker and his great tuning.

WCA at Drive 1          WCA at Drive 2

Dominic Yanez and Richard Papasin took the top two SQ scores this weekend and dominated their classes at the MECA show at Drive Customs in San Luis Obispo, CA. See scoreboard attached, along with a pic of Dominic and his medal. Also included is a shot of the Zapco LX amps showcased in Dominic’s install. The two top Zapco vehicles were at a dead tie, and Dominic earned the SQ best of show by virtue of the tonality tie break. Either way, great wins and sheer domination for Team Zapco!

Congratulations to team member Jim Becker.

1ST Place Master Class  and SQ  Best of Show

Jim drove 450 miles up to  the MECA show in San Jose  from southern Cal this weekend. It was the first official outing for the new Z-150.2 LE amps which he had just installed last week.  Jim took first place in the Master Class (best of the best)  and also received the SQ Best of Show award.

Jim won CA state finals last year but couldn’t make it to national finals. But he got some satisfaction this weekend. To get top spot at this show he had to beat the car that won nationals last year. Doesn’t look like it was a problem.

We want to thank Jim for all his efforts for the cause and for taking his weekend to drive up north and keep the Zapco train rolling.

Kirk Proffitt – Ready for Finals

July 16, 2014 by team_z

 

Congratulations to Kirk Proffitt for locking up his points for finals in Mid-July.

Kirk has taken the Acura to four MECA shows this season. At all four shows he has taken 1st place in Mod Ex and also taken home the Best of Show award.

Kirk’s running six of the Zapco Z-400.2 amps mounted in a V on a single pair of custom built end plates. Guess you could call the whole assembly a Z-400.12.

You can see more pictures of the Acura on Kirk’s US Team-Z page.

June 7th-9th 2014, was the 10th annual Wuxi International Car Modification Show at Wuxi Taihu International Exhibition Center. 

Zapco’s distributor Beijing Wolfree AV was the Title Sponsor of the “World Grammy Car Audio Championships”

With a total exhibition area of 55,000 square meters, Wuxi has became the car modification industry benchmark. The show featured car modification, a professional drift show, the Car audio Grammy competition and, of course, the hot and lovely car models.

There were seven classes in the audio competition in stock and modified categories based on retail value of the equipment. The top prize was the Wolfree Cup and all the cup contestants ran Zapco amplifiers.

Judging was by the China MACE Audio Competition organization and MACE founder Kv Low of Malaysia was on hand to help judging and speak about the fine points of sound quality.

Rock band “Tang Dynasty Band” was on hand as well for entertainment.

Here are some more pictures from the event:

Anniversary Party in Indonesia

June 26, 2014 by team_z

25 June, 2014

Erik Lim and the crew at PT Intersis Sejahtera Abadi, in Jakarta, helped Zapco CEO ,Vincenzo Biasella, celebrate Zapco’s 40th anniversary with a dealer show, a Zapco/EMMA Contest….and a party. It was all held at a sport club outside Jakarta, and it was a huge success.  Registration for the EMMA contest had to be stopped when they ran out of space for any more cars. EMMA Judges were on hand from Indonesia and Thailand to evaluate the 30+ SQ cars. Awards were given for the first 3 places in SQ 2-way, SQ 3-way, and SQL. One award was given for installation for Install  Best of Show.

Members of the local audio press were there to conduct interviews and discuss Zapco’s plans to the future in Indonesia, and to get an early look at the new Zapco offerings. At the after party they introduced the new Zapco products, including the new Limited Edition amps and the new ASP-Q1 in-dash parametric EQ/crossover.   There was a lot of excitement about the new amps and the new processors in the works. The ASP-Q1 is expected to be big in Asia. They have been waiting for replacement for the SX-SL, which has been the reference standard for processing in that area for many years.

Aileen Qiu of Zapco was also there and we thank her for these pictures.
