Mounting F (80° C) during the summer months. Since the thermal shutoff point for the Punch 4-Channel is 195° F (90° C), it is easy to see that the amp must be mounted for maximum cooling capability. Mounting the amplifier on the floor or under the rear parcel tray prevents sufficient convectional airflow cooling. - Page 14 For the Punch 4040, place the protective boot onto the wire. Inset-t the wire into one end of the fuse holder so that the insulation is just inside the crimp area as shown in the diagram. Crimp the wire in place with the notched portion of a crimping tool.

If the noise goes away, check your speaker leads, speakers and crossovers. 2. If the noise persists, use a “shorting plug” to mute the input signal at the amplifier.
