  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction Rockford engineers designed the Punch multi-channel amplifiers to with- stand the rugged automotive environment while delivering superior sound quality in a flexible, reliable, and efficient package. TRANS•ana is a low voltage circuit in the preamp stage of all Punch multi-channel amplifiers that lets the music sound crystal clear and very real, even when played at high volume levels.

The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs. 2. Speaker/Power Terminals – The heavy duty, gold-plated terminal block connectors (+ and –) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG and are immune to corrosion that can cause signal degradation.

  • Page 14: Mounting Location

    Engine Compartment Mounting Rockford Fosgate amplifiers should never be mounted in the engine com- partment. Not only will this void your warranty but could create an embar- rassing situation caused by the ridicule from your friends.
  • Page 15: 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 16 4. Prepare a length of cable to be used for the ground connection. Strip 5/8" of insulation from the end of the cable as described above and connect to the appropriate terminal of the amplifier. Prepare the chas- sis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thorough- ly clean the area of all dirt and grease.
  • Page 17: Using Passive Crossovers

    Using Passive Crossovers A passive crossover is a circuit that uses capacitors and/or coils and is placed on speaker leads between the amplifier and speaker. The crossover delegates a specific range of frequencies to the speaker for optimum driver performance. A crossover network can perform one of three functions: High-Pass (capacitors), Low-Pass (inductors or coils) and Bandpass (combi- nation of capacitor and coil).

    TROUBLE S Troubleshooting 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.
  • Page 36 TROUBLE S Procedure 4: Check Amplifier if you experience excess Engine Noise. 1. Route all signal carrying wires (RCA, Speaker cables) away from power and ground wires. 2. Bypass any and all electrical components between the stereo and the amplifier(s). Connect stereo directly to input of amplifier. If noise goes away the unit being bypassed is the cause of the noise.
  • Page 37: Dynamic Power Measurements

    Dynamic Power Measurements About the Dynamic Power Measurements The Audio Graph PowerCube is a test instrument used to measure the out- put of an amplifier in accordance with IHF-202 industry standards. The IHF-202 standard is a dynamic power measurement and was developed as a means of measuring power in a manner that best represents the Real World operation of an amplifier.
  • Page 38 Information Cubed The data acquired in the testing procedure is then graphed in the form of a 3-dimensional cube, hence the name PowerCube. The Phase Angle is expressed on the horizontal axis, the Output Voltage is presented on the vertical axis and the Impedance is displayed on the Z axis. Output Power, in watts, is listed on the left hand side for each impedance at each phase angle.
