The Punch and Power amplifiers use an analog computer process to maximize safe output power under all operating conditions. Rockford Fosgate pioneered and developed RTP (Real Time Protection), a crucial element in the performance edge of our amplifiers. The innovative NOMAD (NOn-Multiply-... - Page 8 The DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) manufacturing process com- bines the advantages of both discrete components and integrated circuitry. Rockford Fosgate is the only American amplifier manu- facturer to have invested millions into this process. DSM compo- nents differ from conventional discrete components in three different ways.
- Page 9 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 (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) devices offer several important inherent advantages over the 30 year old technology of bi-polar design.

ESIGN EATURES 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”... - Page 11 RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide easy connections for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion. Input Sensitivity Controls – The input level controls are preset for 825mV which will match the output of most source units. They can be adjusted to match input levels ranging from 150mV to 3V.

Engine Compartment Mounting Rockford Fosgate amplifiers should never be mounted in the engine compartment. Not only will this void your warranty but could create an embarrassing situation caused by the ridicule from your friends. -
Page 14: Battery And Charging
Rockford amplifier without problems, although battery and alternator life can be reduced slightly. To maximize the performance of your Rockford Fosgate amplifier, we suggest the use of a heavy duty battery, high output alternator and an energy storage capacitor. - Page 15 Punch 40ix, 60ix, 100ix Trim the power cable to within 18" of the battery and install the protective rubber boot, which is packed with the fuseholder, over the end of the wire. Strip 3/8" of insulation from the wire and insert into the end of the fuseholder, then crimp it in place.
- Page 16 5. Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by stripping 5/8" of insulation from the wire end and crimping an insulated spade connector in place. Slide the connector over the REM terminal on the amplifier. Connect the other end of the REM wire to a switched 12 volt positive source.

Page 17: Using The Xcard
S I N G T H E The crossover functions are controlled through the use of an XCard and can be set for high-pass, low-pass or full range operation. Each crossover card has two faces: one face operates Full Range, the other has arrows to indicate the edge for selecting HP (high-pass) or LP (low-pass) operation. -

Real World operation of an amplifier. Many manufac- turers, including Rockford Fosgate, at times will measure amplifier power into a fixed resistor (4 Ohm, 2 Ohm). While this method is useful in some types of evaluation and testing, it is not representative of an amplifier that is connected to a speaker and playing music. -
