4-channel amplifier with integrated features which is of- fered at a competitive price. We strongly recommend you have your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer install your new Punch amplifier. If you do choose to install it yourself, please be sure to read the entire manual before beginning. -
Page 6: Technical Design Features
ECHNICAL ESIGN EATURES TRANS•ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) The TRANS•ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage rails via a pair of driver transistors. - Page 7 The DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) manufacturing process combines the advantages of both discrete components and integrated circuitry. Rockford Fosgate is the only American amplifier manufacturer to have invested millions into this process. DSM components differ from conventional discrete components in three ways. They are more compact, more rugged, and they efficiently dissipate generated heat.

Page 8: Mosfet Devices
MOSFET Devices Rockford Fosgate is one of the few manufacturers in the sound community to utilize MOSFET devices in both the power supply and the output stages . MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) devices offer several important inherent advantages over the 30 year old technology of bi-polar design. -

ESIGN EATURES 1. 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. 2. End Caps – The unique end caps conceal the wiring and input cables, giving the amplifier a clean “stealth”... - Page 10 7. Signal Input Switch – This switch allows selection of 2-channel or 4-channel source unit feed. 8. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks – The Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without run- ning an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.

Rockford amplifier without problems, although battery and alterna- tor 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. I R I N G T H E... - Page 14 3. Mount the fuseholder within 18" of the battery using two (2) #8 screws. Disassemble the fuseholder. You should have 2 black plastic end caps, 2 gold-plated fuse clips, a plastic spacer and the fuseholder body. Trim the amplifier power cable to reach the fuseholder and strip the wire 3/8".
- Page 15 8. Connect the speakers. Strip the speaker wires 5/8" and insert into the appropriate terminal on the amplifier. Insert the bared wire into the speaker terminal and tighten the set screw to secure into place. Be sure to maintain proper speaker polarity. DO NOT chassis ground any of the speaker leads as unstable operation may result.

S I N G T H E The crossover functions are controlled through the use of an XCard and can be set for high-pass, low-pass or full range operation. Each crossover card has two faces: one face operates Full Range, the other has arrows to indicate the edge for selecting HP (high-pass) or LP (low- pass) operation. -
Page 19: Resistor Chart
ESISTOR HART Our tests have shown that using 0.047 f capacitors for frequencies below 100Hz, and 0.022 f capacitors for frequencies above 100Hz, result in more linear crossover control. Refer to the Specifications page to determine the capacitor value of each supplied XCard. -

Y N A M I C O W E R E A S U R E M E N T S About the Dynamic Power Measurements The Audio Graph PowerCube is a test instrument used to measure the output 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 42 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.
