Operation

9. Turn clockwise to add Punch to amplifier bass frequencies.
CAUTION:Overexcursion and subsequent damage may occur at high levels of boost
NOTE:An optional Para-Punch Remote Bass is available which adds an adjustable center frequency
control with the adjustable boost control.

ADJUSTING GAIN

To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplifier gains all the way down (counter-clockwise).Turn the source unit
volume up until distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until the distortion is inaudible.This will be
about all the way up on most source units. Next, increase the amplifier gain setting until adequate volume is
achieved. Rockford Fosgate source units do not distort, so the volume can be used at maximum setting.
NOTE:Best signal to noise and dynamic range are realized with the gain at minimum. Most users find
adequate gain and volume is achieved at about halfway in the adjustment range.
CAUTION:Avoid setting the amplifier gain very high as noise and distortion will
increase significantly.
NOTE:For a more in depth setting procedure, contact Rockford Technical Support
