Wink

serials and stuff, appears fake... but how do you fake a picture like that? it's got a manual, box, and the amp which all look identically matched. why not e-mail him and ask for more pics?

Possibility: they made one type of model for one year, and a newer one for a newer year, or something like that relating to countries... just throwing ideas

Guys, IT IS NOT MADE BY ALPINE. It has nothing to do with alpine. It is made in some sweatshop in Singakoreachinatiawanapore and made to look like another well known amplifier. It is indeed a real live amp but made to look like something else.
