Just a little old school Alpine 3550 amp . I originally got the amp when I was about 12 years old . Yes, 12 years old lol . It was giving too me by an older family member in which I had no idea what the hell it was so I put it in the attic . Almost 10 years later which was today , I came across it in my attic and was dumbfounded on how I forgot about it for all this time . Allright enough of the Blah blah blahh . Here are the pics ..

I have some OLD Alpine 6way, yes 6way xovers of the same era.

You can run a 3way front stage, 2way rear stage, and a subwoofer...

Allright, so I hooked the amp up in my girlfriends car too see how this Old Alp sounded . First thought was that is was a very clean signal going to the speakers compared to the Rockford amp I have in there. I ran the amp at max gains on the front comps(PG rsd) and I have to say it made them shine pretty well . I listened to a few SQ tracks at fairly high volumes to see if the amp would get hot . It did to a point but no where near to worry about it . I have too say I was kind of suprised with the overall SQ of the amp . I wouldnt say its a "powerful" amp but definitely underrated .
