TROUBLE-S

Welcome to Rockford Fosgate! This manual is designed to provide information

for the owner, salesperson and installer. For those of you who want quick

information on how to install this product, please turn to the

Installation

Section

of this manual or refer to the icons listed below. Other information can

be located by using the Table of Contents. We, at Rockford Fosgate, have

worked very hard to make sure all the information in this manual is current. But,

as we are constantly finding new ways to improve our product, this information

is subject to change without notice.

GETTING STARTED

NTRODUCTION

Rockford engineers designed the Punch 2-channel 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

circuit in the preamp stage of all Punch amplifiers that 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 crossover. The use of a protection

circuit called NOMAD, along with MOSFET and DSM (Discrete Surface

Mount) technologies improve amplifier efficiency. The result of these

components give the Punch amplifier awesome sound quality in a “Bullet

Proof” package. An explanation of these technologies, most of which are

exclusively designed and patented by Rockford, are described in the

Technical Design Features.

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

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 – These gold-plated connectors are used for

the connection of speaker and power wire and are immune to corrosion

that can cause signal degradation. The Punch 100 and Punch 150

utilize a barrier strip that will accept #10 spade lugs or bare speaker and

power wires sized from 10-18 AWG. The Punch 250, Punch 360,

Punch 500, and Punch 800 utilize heavy duty terminal block connec-

tors that will accept bare wires size from 8-18AWG.

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

turn-off the amplifier when +12V DC is applied.

4. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jack provides an easy

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

degradation caused by corrosion.

5. High Level Inputs – The high level inputs use a detachable connector

terminated with 20 AWG leads. These inputs should be used if the source

unit has only speaker line (high level) outputs and not RCA outputs.

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

most source units. They can be adjusted to match output levels from a

variety of source units.

7. Punch Bass – The Punch Bass helps correct for acoustical deficiencies

in the listening environment. The Punch Bass allows a narrow band

adjustmentat45Hzto help reproducefullrangesound without excessive

boost. The Punch 100 utilizes a switch that is adjustable at 0dB/+6dB/

+12dB increments. The Punch 150,Punch 250, Punch 360, Punch

500, and Punch 800 utilize a control that is variable from 0dB to

+18dB.

8. InternalCrossover– Theinternal crossoverisused todelegatea specific

range of frequencies to the speaker system for optimum performance.

The crossover can perform three functions: High-Pass (HP), Low-Pass

(LP), or Full Range (FULL). The Punch 100 and Punch 150 utilize a

12dB/octave Butterworth crossover fixed at 80Hz. The Punch 250,

Punch 360, Punch 500, and Punch 800 utilize a 12dB/octave

Butterworth crossover variable from 50Hz to 210Hz.

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