Yes indeed, that is the same Alpine car audio company. I worked as a sales rep for 5 years with a rep company that our biggest earning line was Alpine. From there I went to work directly for Alpine and climbed the corporate management ladder. It's a truly wonderful company that takes very good care of the employees. The big bucks is the OEM accounts but I worked in Aftermarket, which is the product you guys are familiar with. Much more fun that engaging with car manufacturers for the OEM business. A $2.4B global company and about $840M in North America. As you can imagine, I have had some truly great car audio systems over the years. Even better, I was able to use my Promotional Account to place great demo systems in my sales reps vehicles as well as my own. Oh boy, a grand Alpine system for free!!!
OK, on to my play list for the evening. End of the day, time to play.
