Big OKI wins BIG in Germany
Michael Mueller wins dB Drag World championship Bass Race
In October 2009, Michael Muller from Germany won a world championship title in the dB Drag Bass Race 150.0-159.9 dB. Now not only did he get the title but also a custom embroidered leather jacket and a Super bowl style ring for this accomplishment. The award was given out during the European Spring break competition in May of 2010 by the president of dB Drag Wayne Harris. Just two people in the world have won such a title in this class and Michael is one of them. All of us at Zapco would like to congratulate Michael on such an outstanding accomplishment and would like to thank him for being such a great ambassador for the Zapco name in Europe.
For those who do not know about Michael, aka the Big Oki, and his vehicle here is a little information. The vehicle that has done such an outstanding job promoting Zapco is a VW Touran with 5 Zapco 4Kw's. Yes folks that is not a typo, it has 5 Zapco 4kw's and a slew of Zapco preamps. One 4kw runs Michaels mids and tweeters and the other 4 are ran to 8 Atomic APX 15" subwoofers. The Vehicle is not setup entirely for SPL, it is a very musical system that not only has won SPL competitions but also many Sq. competitions. All together Michael has taken home over 150 first place trophies in Sq. and SPL since 2007.
Once again we are very proud that Michael is part of Team Zapco and we can not thank him enough for all he has done for us. Please enjoy the pictures below.
