Page 7: Introduction
INTRODUCTION This manual provides information on the features, instal- lation, and operation of the Punch 2-channel Amplifiers. We suggest you save this manual for future reference. We strongly recommend you have your Authorized Rock- ford Fosgate Dealer and Service Center install the new Punch amplifier. - Page 8 High powered audio amplifiers must always address the problem of power device reliability. In particular, load fault conditions can easily destroy an amplifier that is not carefully designed. Rockford Fosgate has answered this problem with the development of Real Time Power Pro- tection (RTPP).

Page 9: Controls And Features
CONTROLS AND FEATURES This section describes the various controls and features of the Punch amplifiers. Punch The cast aluminum heatsink of the Punch is designed for Housing high performance cooling. The raised design of the hous- ing allows cables and wires to run underneath the unit. This provides for greater wiring flexibility and protects the cables from damage caused by excessive heat and bend- ing. -

The GND terminal grounds the amplifier and is connected Ground to the chassis of the vehicle with 12 gauge, or heavier, stranded wire. To prevent ground loops, we recommend you refrain from extending the ground wire beyond 18" (45.72cm) in any installation. The ends of the Power and Ground wires that are connected to the amplifier should be stripped back 5/8”... -

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Connecting end caps when using large gauge wire. Solution Cut the wire casing on the diagonal as shown in the following diagram. Insert the wire into the connector. Twist the wire around so that the long end of the insulation faces up. - Page 24 (Use a relay to suppress the excessive current draw.) If you are still having problems, have the amplifier checked out by an Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer. Problem Amplifier will not play – Remote turn-on light is on: Solution 1.
- Page 25 If turn- on pop goes away, connect a delay turn-on module (Perfect Interface DT-1) to the amplifier. (See your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer for more infor- mation.) 2. Disconnect the turn-on wire from the head unit and use a different 12 volt power source to turn on the amplifier (i.e.

Page 27: Dynamic Power Measurements
Real World operation of an amplifier. Many manufacturers, including Rockford Fosgate, at times will measure amplifier power into a fixed resistor (4 ohm, 2 ohm). While this method is useful in some types of... - Page 28 A 4 ohm speaker may experience a drop in impedance 4- 6 times lower than its nominal (printed) impedance. A speaker will also create phase shifts in the signal that is passed through it. These phase shifts happen because a speaker is an inductor (voice coil) and a capacitor (compliance of the surround/spider), as well as a resistor (voice coil wire).
- Page 29 What is an Amplifier? An amplifier by definition is a voltage generating device, recreating the signal which is input to it identically but with increased volume. It will be connected to a reactive load (the speaker). The impedance of this load and phase of the signal passing through the load will vary, dependent upon the frequency of the input signal (music).
