OLD Alpine Amps

I was just digging thru an old box of crap and came across 2 old amps that were in one of long lost cars.
Alpine 3501
Alpine 3522
I think the 3522 is a 2 channel x 30watt
the 3501 is only 1/2 the size physically, so maybe 10 to 15 per channel.
Could a viable sound system be devised around these? If so, what would you reccomend?
Thanks

Those are pretty dated amps.

That was probably good for a stereo system back in the late 80's, but, with todays speakers, most tweeters have a higher RMS rating than those amps will put out.

If you had some period speakers that would be compatible for those amps (probably not, since it was probably a paper cone and the speakers have since deteriorated) it would be a possibility.
