Connections
1. LED Power Indicator (Top of unit) – The LED illuminates when the unit is turned on.
2. REM Terminal – This spade terminal is used to remotely turn-on and turn-off the amplifier when
+12V DC is applied.
3. Power Terminals – The power and ground connectors on the amplifier are platinum-plated and
will accommodate up to 8 AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier.
4. Speaker Terminals – The heavy duty, platinum-plated terminal block connectors (+ and –) will
accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG. These platinum-plated connectors are immune to
corrosion that can cause signal deterioration.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Internal Crossover – Is a built-in 24dB/octave Butterworth filter selectable between 120Hz
High-Pass (HP), All Pass (AP), or 80Hz Low-Pass (LP) operation.
8. 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.
9. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level
input. They are platinum-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.
10. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks – The Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an
additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to
the rear amplifier location.
