Alpine Electronics, Inc. is owned and operated in Tokyo ever since the 60s BUT there is a loads of difference between the products built there and here in America/Canada. All of the American products have components from Alps Electric Comp. & are American. Even alot of different options you can get on new alpine ( ie: BBS(former Barry Barcus Electronics), RDS, & the entire "bass engine" tech. ) where designed here in America. There corps are in Japen, BUT ever since there Lambo installs in 78+ they have prided American technology.
