GETTING STARTED

INTRODUCTION

Rockford engineers designed the Punch 40x2, 60x2, 100x2 and

200x2 amplifiers to withstand the rugged automotive environment

while delivering superior sound quality in a flexible, reliable, and

efficientpackage.TRANS•ANAisalowvoltagecircuitinthepreamp

stageofallPunchx2amplifiersthatletsthemusicsoundcrystalclear

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 installa-

tion. Flexibility is accomplished with the use of a built-in XCard.

Reliability is all but guaranteed with the use of a protection circuit

called NOMAD, while MOSFET and DSM (Discrete Surface Mount)

technologyimproveamplifier efficiency. The result of these compo-

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

Proof”package.Anexplanationofthesetechnologies,mostofwhich

◆TRANS•ANA

(TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier)

The

TRANS•ANA

(TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a

circuitthatallowstheaudiosignaltopassthroughtheamplifieratlow

voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage

rails via a pair of driver transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an

active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies.

This allows amplifier performance similar to trans•

nova

which is

highly stable and linear while utilizing the advantages of a non-

floating power supply.

Thisinnovativenewdevelopmentallowsvastlyimprovedisolationof

the input signal grounds from the power supply ground of the

amplifier.Thisisaccomplishedbyallowingthesourceunittocontrol

the potential “environment”of the entire input structure or “zone”of

the amplifier. This process improves the noise rejection of the ampli-

fier by 30-40dB –an astounding 30-100 times better than amplifiers

without TOPAZ.

◆DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) Technology

The

DSM

(Discrete Surface Mount) manufacturing process combines

the advantages of both discrete components and integrated circuitry.

RockfordFosgateistheonlyAmericanamplifiermanufacturertohave

invested millions into this process. DSM components differ from

conventional discrete components in different ways. They are more

compact, more rugged, and they efficiently dissipate generated heat.

Using them wherever appropriate allows the advantages associated

with discrete circuitry to be retained while also providing room for

both highly advanced processing features and generous PC board

copper paths where needed. Their short lead-out structures allow

maximumaudioperformanceandhighestsignal-to-noiseratios tobe

obtained in amplifiers of desirable package size without resorting to

“amplifier-on-a-chip”shortcuts. These advantages are shown below

in Figure 1.

Figure 1

THE RESULT: Fewer connections, improved reliability, shorter signal

paths,superiorsignal-to-noiseratioandawesomesonicperformance.

◆XCard (Internal Crossover)

The Punch and Power amplifiers utilize internal active crossovers.

These crossovers have many performance advantages such as using

discrete components for exact frequency adjustments which are far

superiortopotentiometers.Additionally,the

XCard

canbeconfigured

for high-pass, low-pass and full range operation. With slight modifi-

cations,manycrossoverfrequenciesandslopeconfigurationscanbe

achieved.

THE RESULT: Increased system design flexibility with a precise

electronic crossover without the limitations of conventional potenti-

ometer designs.

◆MOSFET Devices

Rockford Fosgate is one of the few manufacturers in the sound

community to utilize MOSFET devices in both the

power supply

and

the

output stages

MOSFET

(MetalOxideSemiconductor FieldEffect

Transistor) devices offer several important inherent advantages over

the 30 year old technology of bi-polar design. These advantages

include: thermal stability, switching speed, ultra low output imped-

ance and wider bandwidth linearity. In addition, MOSFETs operate

verysimilarly to vacuumtubesin whichtheyare more linearthanbi-

polartransistors.However,MOSFETscandeliverthemidrangeclarity

without the limitations of transient response and high frequency

phase shifting normally associated with tube operation.

THE RESULT: Operational characteristics similar to vacuum tubes

without the performance limitations of tube design.

◆NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision)

ThePunchand Poweramplifiers usean

analogcomputer process

innovative

NOMAD

(NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision) system

isthemostsophisticatedversionofthistechniqueeverused,bringing

previously unavailable levels of accuracy, stability, temperature

immunity and reliability to this critical process. NOMAD makes

advanceddecisionsbasedondevicevoltagestopreciselycontrolthe

awesome levels of current available in the output MOSFETs to safe

values –but only when absolutely needed.

THE RESULT: Extremely fast protection system that always protects

the amplifier and never degrades the sound.

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. End Caps –Interchangeable end caps conceal the wiring and

input cables, giving the amplifier a clean “stealth”look.

8. Punch Equalization Controls –ThePunchEQhelpscorrect for

acoustical deficiencies of the listening environment. The Bass

control allows a narrow band adjustment of up to 18dB

centered at 45Hz. The Treble control is a wide band hinged

adjustment with a maximum of 12dB at 20kHz. The Punch EQ

can be bypassed by turning the controls to their minimum or

counterclockwise position.

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

turned on.

10. XCard (Internal Crossover) –This built-in crossover card is

configurable for a multitude of operating frequencies. The

orientation of the card in its socket determines the function of

high-pass, low-pass, or full range operation.

This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for

installing your new Punch amplifier. Checking your battery and

presentsoundsystem,aswellaspre-planningyoursystemlayoutand

best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding how to

lay out your new system, be sure that each component will be easily

accessible for making adjustments.

Beforebeginninganyinstallation,besuretofollowthesesimplerules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before

attempting to install the amplifier.

2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to

beginning the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to

mounting your amplifier in place.

4. RoutealloftheRCAcablesclosetogetherandawayfromanyhigh

current wires.

5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to

minimize signal or power loss.

6. Thinkbeforeyoudrill! Becarefulnottocutordrillintogastanks,

fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical

wiring when working on any vehicle.

7. Neverrunwiresunderneaththevehicle. Runningthewiresinside

the vehicle provides the best protection.

8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or

plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal,

especially the firewall.

9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage

with proper fusing. Install a fuseholder and appropriate fuse on

the+12Vpowerwirewithin18”(45.7cm)ofthebatteryterminal.

10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint

from the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection.
