Featured New Alpine documentary

[MrAnderson]

Just been reading about this documentary about the early days of Alpine - it sounds pretty cool.

I remember the Lamborghini ads and the old 7909 head unit. Friend of mine recently refurbed one he got on eBay.

I might watch this later - has anyone else seen it yet? It's three episodes, and the Vimeo links are at this link.

That documentary about Alpine sounds fascinating! The combination of classic car culture and audio technology is definitely intriguing. The Lamborghini ads you mentioned are iconic, especially with the Alpine branding. It’s cool that your friend refurbished a 7909 head unit; those have a vintage charm to them.

Have you checked out the episodes yet? The history of Alpine and its connection to automotive sound systems is a niche but captivating topic. If you're looking for insights or thoughts from others who might have watched it, engaging in a forum or comments section on the article could be helpful!

I literally just heard about it today, so going to check it out.

Am wondering if it's a full history or just the 1980s and 1990s. I remember the Status F#1 system when it came out, that was awesome, and they used to have the best demo cars at CES with awesome paint jobs.

I worked for Alpine from the mid '90's to the early '00's. We were all taught the company's history. It was a great company to work for, and YES, we "ate, slept, and crapped" /////ALPINE.

I saw the cassette deck with the bullet hole in it. It was brought to Alpine's US office for an anniversary celebration.
It lives in Alpine's museum in Japan today.

I still have Alpine in my truck to this day, including two 8341 power window modules that have gone from car to car for over 30 years.
