Old school power and quality. These amps are only rated for 60 watts per channel, which is not much these days. Back in 1986 it was a little different. This was some high end stuff, and true 60 watts per channel was a lot. The build quality is good, and the sound quality is nice too. The form factor is small and the brackets to mount it are easy to use. Inside you will find power transistors, and no integrated circuit output devices. Real old school build quality. They offer inputs via rca jacks, din plug, and speaker level. That makes it usable in nearly any system. Wiring is straight forward and everything is labeled. The only real downfall of this and other similar amps is the power and speaker plugs. They dont always make a great connection. Later amps from Coustic had better terminal strips. They do require a little TLC, or just replace them with better ones. My first real car amp was a Coustic Amp-120 just like this. It gave me many years of service, and sounded great while doing it. I would highly recommend this for an old school system.
The amplifier was advertised as functional with no indications that it was inoperative. It did not come with any of the molex plugs for power imputs or speaker outputs but I had some from another Coustic amp and wired it up for testing...No sound. I took the cover off and discovered at least one visually bad power supply capacitor. I will have to do more testing to see if there are any other bad components. I'm just dissapointed that it is non functional! The only redeeming quality is that it is a piece of car audio history that I don't mind keeping even if it's currently non-functional.
