Introduction

Rockford engineers designed the Power series amplifiers to withstand the

rugged automotive environment while delivering superior sound quality in

a flexible, reliable, and efficient package. TRANS•ana is a low voltage cir-

cuit in the preamp stage lets the music sound crystal clear and very real,

even when played at high volume levels. This is matched with TOPAZ, a

unique grounding circuit used to eliminate noise problems associated with

car audio systems and their installation. Flexibility is accomplished with the

use of a built-in variable crossover. The use of a protection circuit called

NOMAD, along with MOSFET and DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) technol-

ogies improve amplifier efficiency. The result of these components give the

Power amplifier awesome sound quality in a “Bullet Proof”package.

Explanations of these technologies, most of which are exclusively designed

and patented by Rockford, are described in the Technical Design Features.

Power Amplifier Accessory Pack

The accessory pack shipped with the Power amplifiers includes the mount-

ing hardware necessary to secure the amp to the vehicle.

Design Features

1. Cast Aluminum Heatsink –The cast aluminum heatsink of the Power amplifier

dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of

casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion

heatsink designs.

2. Speaker/Power Terminals –The heavy duty, gold-plated terminal block con-

nectors (+ and –) will accept 4 gauge cable and are immune to corrosion that

can cause signal degradation.

3. REM Terminal –This spade terminal is used to remotely turn on and turn off the

amplifier when +12V DC is applied.

4. Signal Input Switch (Power 400, Power 800 4-channel & 600 5–channel

amplifiers) –This switch allows the amplifier to be driven with either 2 or 4

pairs of inputs.

5. RCA Input Jacks –The industry standard RCAjacks provide an easy connection

for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the signal degradation

caused by corrosion.

6. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks –The Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for daisy-

chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables

from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.

7. Gain Control –The input gain control is preset to match the output of most

source units. It can be adjusted to match output levels from a variety of source

units.

8. Remote Punch Bass –The Punch Bass helps correct for acoustical deficiencies

in the listening environment by helping reproduce full range sound without

adding excessive boost. The Punch Bass control is a narrow band adjustment

centered at 45Hz variable from 0dB to +18dB. Connection is made with a

cable using RJ-45 and can be installed under the dash for remote control access.

9. Internal Crossover –The internal crossover is a 24dB/octave Butterworth filter

selectable for High-Pass (HP), Full Range (FULL), or Low-Pass (LP) operation

variable from 50Hz to 210Hz.

10. LED Power Indicator –The LED illuminates when the unit is turned on.

11. Phase Warp (Power 1000 2-channel amplifier) –The phase warp is a variable

control used to adjust the phase of the output signal relative to the phase of the

input signal. The phase warp is most noticable when the system is playing a

sine wave (test tone). When used with the proper test equipment, this feature

can increase the relative SPL in a system.
