ESIGN EATURES 1. Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the Punch amplifier dissipates heat generated by the amplifi- er's circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs. 2. 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.
This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Amplifier. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new system, be sure that each compo- nent will be easily accessible for making adjustments.
Stock electrical systems which are in good condition should be able to handle the extra load of any Rockford Fosgate amplifier without problems, although battery and alternator life can be reduced slightly.
Next, turn the amplifier gain setting until once again distortion is audible and then back it down until the distortion is inaudi- ble. Rockford Fosgate source units do not distort, so the volume can be used at maximum setting. NOTE: For a more in depth setting procedure, contact Rockford Technical Support.
NOTE: If you are having problems after installation follow the Troubleshooting procedures below. Procedure 1: Check Amplifier for proper connections. Verify that POWER light is on. If POWER light is on skip to Step 2, if not continue. 1. Check in-line fuse on battery positive cable. Replace if necessary. 2.
Some states do not allow limitations on the length of an implied warranty, so this lim- itation may not apply. No person is authorized to assume for Rockford Fosgate any other liability in connection with the sale of the product.
