GETTING STARTED

NTRODUCTION

Rockford engineers designed the Punch 2-channel

amplifiers to withstand

the rugged automotive environment while delivering superior sound quality

in a flexible, reliable, and efficient package. TRANS•ANA is a low voltage

circuit in the preamp stage of all Punch amplifiers that lets the music sound

crystal clear and very real, even when played at high volume levels. This is

matched with TOPAZ, a unique grounding circuit used to eliminate noise

problems associated with car audio systems and their installation. Flexibility

is accomplished with the use of a built-in crossover. The use of a protection

circuit called NOMAD, along with MOSFET and DSM (Discrete Surface

Mount) technologies improve amplifier efficiency. The result of these

components give the Punch amplifier awesome sound quality in a “Bullet

Proof” package. An explanation of these technologies, most of which are

exclusively designed and patented by Rockford, are described in the

Technical Design Features.

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. Speaker/Power Terminals – These gold-plated connectors are used for

the connection of speaker and power wire and are immune to corrosion

that can cause signal degradation. The Punch 100 and Punch 150

utilize a barrier strip that will accept #10 spade lugs or bare speaker and

power wires sized from 10-18 AWG. The Punch 250, Punch 360,

Punch 500, and Punch 800 utilize heavy duty terminal block connec-

tors that will accept bare wires size from 8-18AWG.

3. REM Terminal – This spade terminal is used to remotely turn-on and

turn-off the amplifier when +12V DC is applied.

4. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jack provides an easy

connection for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the signal

degradation caused by corrosion.

5. High Level Inputs – The high level inputs use a detachable connector

terminated with 20 AWG leads. These inputs should be used if the source

unit has only speaker line (high level) outputs and not RCA outputs.

6. Gain Control – The input gain control is preset to match the output of

most source units. They can be adjusted to match output levels from a

variety of source units.

7. Punch Bass – The Punch Bass helps correct for acoustical deficiencies

in the listening environment. The Punch Bass allows a narrow band

adjustment at 45Hz to help reproduce full range sound without excessive

boost. The Punch 100 utilizes a switch that is adjustable at 0dB/+6dB/

+12dB increments. The Punch 150, Punch 250, Punch 360, Punch

500, and Punch 800 utilize a control that is variable from 0dB to

+18dB.

8. Internal Crossover – The internal crossover is used to delegate a specific

range of frequencies to the speaker system for optimum performance.

The crossover can perform three functions: High-Pass (HP), Low-Pass

(LP), or Full Range (FULL). The Punch 100 and Punch 150 utilize a

12dB/octave Butterworth crossover fixed at 80Hz. The Punch 250,

Punch 360, Punch 500, and Punch 800 utilize a 12dB/octave

Butterworth crossover variable from 50Hz to 210Hz.

9. LED Power Indicator – The LED illuminates when the unit is turned on.

NSTALLATION

ONSIDERATIONS

The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the Punch amplifier:

This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your

new Punch amplifier. Checking your battery and present sound system, as

well as pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save

installation time. When deciding how to lay out your new system, be sure that

each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments.

Before beginning any installation, be sure to follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempt-

ing to install the amplifier.

2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to

beginning the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your

amplifier in place.

4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high

current wires.

5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize

signal or power loss.

6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel

lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when

working on any vehicle.

7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the

vehicle provides the best protection.

8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic

grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the

firewall.

9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with

proper fusing. Install a fuseholder and appropriate fuse on the +12V

power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.

10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the

metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. Grounding connec-

tions should be as short as possible and always be connected to metal

that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.

OUNTING

OCATION

The mounting location and position of your amplifier will have a great effect

on its ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation. The

design of our cast aluminum heatsink serves to easily dissipate the heat

generated over a wide range of operating conditions. However, to maximize

the performance of your amplifier, care should be taken to ensure adequate

ventilation.

Trunk Mounting

Mounting the amplifier vertically on a surface with the fin grooves running

up and down will provide the best cooling of the amplifier.

Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will work but provides less

cooling capability than vertical mounting.

Mounting the amplifier upside down to the rear deck of the trunk will not

provide proper cooling and will severely affect the performance of the

amplifier and is strongly

not

recommended.

Passenger Compartment Mounting

Mounting the amplifier in the passenger compartment will work as long as

you provide a sufficient amount of air for the amplifier to cool itself. If you

are going to mount the amplifier under the seat of the vehicle, you must have

at least 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the amplifier's heatsink.

Mounting the amplifier with less than 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the

amplifier's heatsink in the passenger compartment will not provide proper

cooling and will severely affect the performance of the amplifier and is

strongly

not

recommended.

Engine Compartment Mounting

Rockford Fosgate amplifiers should

never

be mounted in the engine

compartment. Not only will this void your warranty but could create an

embarrassing situation caused by the ridicule from your friends.

– 7 –

ATTERY

AND

HARGING

– 8 –

Amplifiers will put an increased load on the vehicle's battery and charging

system. We recommend checking your alternator and battery condition to

ensure that the electrical system has enough capacity to handle the

increased load of your stereo system. Stock electrical systems which are in

good condition should be able to handle the extra load of any Rockford

amplifier without problems, although battery and alternator 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.

IRING

THE

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.

• For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning

the installation.

1. Plan the wire routing. Take care when running signal level RCA cables

to keep them close together but isolated from the amplifier's power cables

and any high power auto accessories, especially electric motors. This is

done to prevent coupling the noise from radiated electrical fields into the

audio signal. When feeding the wires through the firewall or any metal

barrier, protect them with plastic or rubber grommets to prevent short

circuits. Leave the wires long at this point to adjust for a precise fit at a

later time.

2. Prepare the Power cable for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 1/

2" of insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the bared wire into the B+

terminal and tighten the set screw to secure the cable in place.

NOTE: The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's

battery. Install the fuseholder under the hood and prepare the cable

ends as stated above. Connections should be

water tight.

Trim the power cable within 18" of the battery and

strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire. Cut

the wire loop that is attached to the fuseholder in

half and splice the fuse into the power line using

appropriate inline connectors. Use the section of

cable that was trimmed earlier and connect it to the

other end of the fuseholder.

– 9 –

3. Strip 1/2" from the battery end of the power cable and crimp a large ring

terminal to the cable. Use the ring terminal to connect to the battery

positive terminal. Do not install the fuse at this time.

4. Prepare the Ground cable for attachment to the amplifier by stripping 1/

2" of insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the bared wire into the GND

terminal and tighten the set screw to secure the cable in place. Prepare

the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and

thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the other end of the

wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the cable to the chassis using a

non-anodized screw and a star washer.

5. Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by stripping

1/2" of insulation from the wire end. Insert the bared wire into the REM

terminal and tighten the set screw to secure the cable into place. Connect

the other end of the REM wire to a switched 12 volt positive source. The

switched voltage is usually taken from the source unit's auto antenna or

the accessory lead. If the source unit does not have these outputs

available, the recommended solution is to wire a mechanical switch in

line with a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.

6. Securely mount the amplifier to the vehicle or amp rack. Be careful not

to mount the amplifier on cardboard or plastic panels. Doing so may

enable the screws to pull out from the panel due to road vibration or

sudden vehicle stops.

7. Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA cables/

high level inputs into the input jacks at the amplifier.

8. Connect the speakers. Strip the speaker wires 1/2" and insert 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.

9. Perform a final check of the completed system wiring to ensure that all

connections are accurate. Check all power and ground connections for

frayed wires and loose connections which could cause problems.

SING

ASSIVE

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.

A crossover network can perform one of three functions: High-Pass (capaci-

tors), Low-Pass (inductors or coils) and Bandpass (combination of capacitor

and coil).

The most commonly used passive crossover networks are 6dB/octave

systems. These are easy to construct and require one component per filter.

Placing this filter in series with the circuit will reduce power to the speaker by

6dB/octave above or below the crossover point depending on whether it is a

high-pass or low-pass filter. More complex systems such as 12dB/octave or

18dB/octave can cause impedance problems if not professionally designed.

Passive crossovers are directly dependent upon the speaker's impedance and

component value for accuracy. When passive crossover components are

used in multiple speaker systems, the crossover's effect on the overall

impedance should be taken into consideration along with the speaker's

impedance when determining amplifier loads.

CAUTION: The Punch ampli-

fiers are not recommended for impedance loads below 2Ω stereo and 4Ω

bridged (mono) loads.
