punch competition Power amplifier Operation & Installation 500. 2 ® ® car audio fanatics for ® power new chrome heatsink.
Dear Customer, Congratulations on your purchase of the world's finest brand of car audio amplifiers. At Rockford Fosgate we are fanatics about musical reproduction at its best, and we are pleased you chose our product.
T ABLE OF C ONTENTS Introduction ................................................................................................................................................................. 1 Accessory Pack .......................................
– 1 – A CCESSOR Y P ACK The accessory pack includes the mounting hardware necessary to secure the amplifier to the vehicle and to attach the end caps to the amplifier.
– 2 – T ECHNICAL D ESIGN F EA TURES ◆ trans•nova (TRANSconductance NOdal V oltage Amplifier) The trans• nova ( TRANS conductance NO dal V oltage A mplifier) is a patented circuit (U.S. Patent 4,467,288) that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low voltage .
– 3 – ◆ TOP AZ (T racking Operation Pre-Amplifier Zone) The TOPAZ ( T racking O peration P re- A mplifier Z one) circuitry solves ground loop noise problems common to automotive amplifier design. This innovative new development allows vastly improved isolation of the input signal grounds from the power supply ground of the amplifier.
– 4 – Differential inputs only amplify the difference between two conductors. Note: the noise spikes appear on both the center conductor and the outer shield and therefore are not amplified.
D ESIGN F EA TURES 1. Cast Aluminum Chrome Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the Punch Power 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.
11. Bass EQ Control – The Bass EQ allows a narrow band adjustment of up to +18dB centered at 45Hz. The bass boost can be bypassed by turning the control to its minimum or counterclockwise position.
– 7 – I NST ALLA TION C ONSIDERA TIONS T ools Needed The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the Punch Power amplifier: Allen wrenches 9/64" , 3/32" & 1/8".
M OUNTING L OCA TION S The mounting location and position of your amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated under normal operation. The design of our cast aluminum heatsink serves to easily dissipate the heat generated over a wide range of operating conditions.
W IRING T HE S YSTEM CAUTION: Avoid running power wires near the low level input cables, antenna, power leads, sensitive equipment or harnesses. The power wires carry substantial current and could induce noise into the audio system. 1. Configure the internal XCard crossovers prior to installation.
U SING P ASSIVE C ROSSOVERS 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.

The Balanced Line Inputs can be utilized with the optional Balanced Line Transmitter. Unlike standard RCA cables that use two wires to carry the audio signal and ground, balanced lines use three. In a balanced line, the output signal and its inverted replica travel down a pair of wires where the ground connects via the shield.
