Is their any differences between these two old school alpine amps? The only difference I see is that the 3522 uses a wiring harness and the 3522s dosn't.

I have had experience with the 3522, I think the only difference is the wireing harness. I have looked the amp up on the net and thats the only difference I see.

The 3522 is a very good strong dependable amp too. I purchased one back in the early 90's and it is still going in my brother-in-laws truck.

As far as I remember it was a very clean sounding amp.

I was reading the lable on the bottom of it (the 3522s) and it says made in korea unlike the 3522 which I'm pretty sure is made in japan. Is this still a good amp?

i have an alpine 3522 amp running my mids and highs, its a very clean soudnding amp, i did have to cut off the molex connectors and solder wires to hook it up, i got the amp for free minus the harnesses
