My 2nd owner DIY PowerPro suffered a power supply/control board failure in the depths of the pandemic.

This took about 6 months to finally get sorted and back to me.

Its funny to think about this problem from the other side-as we all ...

kinda like this-but the triangle blocks should fully support the stock.

I've been looking at something like this for awhile Reible. Hadn't come to any conclusion yet. I see there is an ISO lite and an ISO Pro, but the only difference is see is the DB rating (26 vs 27) and the price. That last DB is an expensive one :) The thing that stops me is the bluetooth enabled par...
