I have an old vintage American made crown power amp for sale. It's from the 70s. 300 watt. Its heavey and fat. Takes up 6 rack spaces. We used it in our system for running mids and highs. I have started using more full range stuff and I have started buying some powered speakers.
This is a good old amp for anyone looking for stuff they don't make anymore. Had it out a while back and worked great. Volume dials were a little scratchy.
Would like to get $125 for it. No pictures right now.

for guitar, you would need a mixer before you plug into this. This amp powers your speakers. For guitar or vocals you would want the mixer for e q. Or a mixer and EQ first.

I also want to add. This amp is from the 70s. It's pretty heavy and takes up 4 rack spaces meaning it's around 8 inches tall. Its not much heavier than the P A amps of today but its bigger.
They make most amps today to fit 2 rack spaces each.
