Page 5: Technical Design Features
ECHNICAL TRANS•ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) The TRANS•ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low 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. - Page 6 The DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) manufacturing process combines the advantages of both discrete components and integrated circuitry. Rockford Fosgate is the only American amplifier manufacturer to have 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.

Page 7: Mosfet Devices
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. -

The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs. 2. End Caps – The unique end caps conceal the wiring and input cables, giving the amplifier a clean “stealth”... - Page 9 8. Input Sensitivity Controls – The input level controls are preset to match the output of most source units. They can be adjusted to match output levels from a variety of source units. 9. Bass EQ Control – The Bass EQ allows a narrow band adjustment of up to +18dB centered at 45Hz.

Page 11: Mounting Location
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 12: 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 and an energy storage capacitor. - Page 13 Mount the fuseholder within 18" of the battery using two (2) #8 screws. Disassemble the fuseholder. You should have 2 black plastic end caps, 2 gold-plated fuse clips, a plastic spacer and the fuseholder body. Trim the amplifier power cable to reach the fuseholder and strip the wire 3/8".
- Page 14 8. Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA cables into the input jacks at the amplifier. 9. Connect the speakers. Strip the speaker wires 5/8". Insert the bared wire into the speaker terminal and tighten the set screw to secure into place.

Page 15: 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. The XCard installed in your amplifier is set for Full Range. 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. -
Page 16: Resistor Chart
ESISTOR Our tests have shown that using 0.047 f capacitors for frequencies below 100Hz, and 0.022 f capacitors for frequencies above 100Hz, result in more linear crossover control. Refer to the Specifications page to determine the capacitor value of each supplied XCard. -
