Introduction
Rockford engineers designed the Punch multi-channel amplifiers to with-
stand 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 multi-channel 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 cir-
cuit used to eliminate noise problems associated with car audio systems
and their installation. Flexibility is accomplished with the use of high-level
inputs and a built-in crossover. The use of a protection circuit called
NOMAD, along with MOSFET and DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) and our
innovative MEHSA heat dissipating technology improves amplifier efficien-
cy. The result of these components give the Punch amplifier awesome
sound quality in a “Bullet Proof” package.

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 – The heavy duty, gold-plated terminal block
connectors (+ and –) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG
and are immune to corrosion that can cause signal degradation. The
Punch 600, 5-channel also utilizes a barrier strip that will accept #8
spade lugs or bare speker wires sized from 12-18 AWG.
3. REM Terminal – This spade terminal is used to remotely turn on and
turn off the amplifier when +12V DC is applied.
4. Signal Input Switch – This switch allows the amplifier to be driven with
either 2 or 4 pairs of inputs. The Punch 600, 5-channel allows the
amplifier to be driven with either 2, 4, or 6 pairs of inputs.
5. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy
connection for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the sig-
nal degradation caused by corrosion.
6. 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 out-
puts.
7. RCA Pass-Thru Jacks – The Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for
daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of
RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.
8. Gain Control – The input gain control is preset to match the output of
most source units. It can be adjusted to match output levels from a vari-
ety of source units.
9. Punch Bass – The Punch Bass helps correct for acoustical deficiencies
in the listening environment by helping reproduce full range sound
without adding excessive boost. The Punch Bass control is a narrow
band adjustment centered at 45Hz variable from 0dB to +18dB.
10. Internal Crossover – The internal crossover is a 12dB/octave
Butterworth filter selectable for High-Pass (HP), Full Range (FULL), or
Low-Pass (LP) operation. The Punch 200/400, 4-channel amplifiers
utilize a fixed 80Hz crossover. The Punch 600/800, 4-channel and
Punch 600, 5-channel amplifiers utilize a crossover variable from
50Hz to 210Hz with the Sub channel operating at 24dB/octave.
11. LED Power Indicator – The LED illuminates when the unit is turned on.

Installation Considerations
The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the Punch
amplifier:
Voltmeter Wire strippers
Electric hand drill w/assorted bits Battery post wrench
17' (5 m) Red Power Wire Wire cutters
12' (4 m) Remote Turn-On Wire Assorted connectors
1.5' (45 cm) Black Grounding Wire Wire crimpers
This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing
your new Punch amplifier. Checking your battery and present sound sys-
tem, 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
attempting to install the amplifier.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to begin-
ning 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 cur-
rent 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 plas-
tic 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 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.
–7–
Mounting Location
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 maxi-
mize 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 com-
partment. Not only will this void your warranty but could create an embar-
rassing situation caused by the ridicule from your friends.

–8–
Battery and Charging
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.

Wiring the System

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. 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 pre-
vent short circuits. Leave the wires long at this point to adjust for a pre-
cise fit at a later time.

2. Prepare the Power cable for attachment STRIP WIRE INSULATION

> >
to the amplifier by stripping 5/8" of
insulation from the end of the wire. The <
5/8"

use of 8 gauge power cable can inter-

AMP
fere with the installation of the end >

caps. Proper wire dress can prevent this

from occurring. To prevent the wire
from fraying, strip the insulation at a
45° angle. Insert the bared wire into the
B+ terminal with the long side of the insulation on the top. Bend the
cable down at a 90° angle. Tighten the set screw to secure the cable in
place.

3. Strip 3/8" 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 bat-
tery positive terminal. Do not install the fuse at this time.

–9–
 4. Prepare a length of cable to be used for the ground connection. Strip
5/8" of insulation from the end of the cable as described above and
connect to the appropriate terminal of the amplifier. Prepare the chas-
sis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thorough-
ly 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 strip-
ping 1/4" of insulation from the wire end and crimping an insulated
spade connector in place. Slide the connector over the REM terminal
on the amplifier. Connect the other end of the REM wire to a switched
12 volt positive source. The switched signal 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 ampli-
fier.

6. Securely mount the amplifier (with supplied screws) to the vehicle or

amp rack. Be careful not to mount the amplifier on cardboard or plas-
tic panels. Doing so may enable the screws to pull out from the panel
due to road vibrations or sudden vehicle stops.

7. Determine the number of inputs needed to drive the amplifier and

move the input switch to the desired setting.

8. Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA cables
or high level inputs into the input jack(s) at the amplifier.

9. 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.

10. 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 from
road vibrations.

Using Passive Crossovers
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 (capacitors), Low-Pass (inductors or coils) and Bandpass (combi-
nation of capacitor and coil).
The most commonly used passive crossover networks are 6dB/octave sys-
tems. These are easy to construct and require one component per filter.
Placing this filter in series with the circuit will reduce power to the speak-
er 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 profes-
sionally 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
amplifiers are not recommended for impedance loads below 2Ω stereo
and 4Ω bridged (mono) loads.

If you are having problems after installation follow the Troubleshooting

procedures below.

Procedure 1: Check Amplifier for proper connections.

Verify that POWER light is on. If POWER light is on skip to Step 2, if not
continue.

1. Check in-line fuse on battery positive cable. Replace if necessary.

2. Verify that Ground connection is connected to clean metal of the vehi-
cle’s chassis. Repair/replace if necessary.
3. Verify there is 10.5 - 15.5 Volts of current present at the positive battery
and remote turn-on cable. Verify quality connections for both cables at
amplifier, stereo, and battery/fuseholder. Repair/replace if necessary.

Procedure 2: Check Amplifier for audio output.

1. Connect a single 4 or 8 ohm test speaker directly to each output chan-
nel amplifier. Verify speakers in car are good and wiring between amplifi-
er and speakers, including connectors are good. Repair/replace if neces-
sary.
2. Verify good RCA/high-level input connections at stereo and amplifier.
Check entire length of cables for kinks, splices, etc. Test RCA/high-level
inputs for AC current with stereo on. Repair/replace if necessary.
3. Disconnect RCA/high-level input from amplifier. Connect RCA/high-
level input from test stereo directly to amplifier input.

Procedure 3: Check Amplifier if you experience Turn-on Pop.

1. Disconnect input signal to amplifier and turn amplifier on and off.
2. If the noise is eliminated, connect the REM lead of amplifier to source
unit with a delay turn-on module.
OR
1.Use a different 12 Volt source for REM lead of amplifier (i.e. battery
direct).
2. If the noise is eliminated, use a relay to isolate the amplifier from noisy
turn-on output.

Procedure 4: Check Amplifier if you experience excess Engine Noise.

1. Route all signal carrying wires (RCA, Speaker cables) away from
power and ground wires.
OR
2. Bypass any and all electrical components between the stereo and the
amplifier(s). Connect stereo directly to input of amplifier. If noise goes
away the unit being bypassed is the cause of the noise.
OR
3. Remove existing ground wires for all electrical components.
Reground wires to different locations. Verify that grounding location is
clean, shiny metal free of paint, rust etc.
OR
4. Add secondary ground cable from negative battery terminal to the
chassis metal or engine block of vehicle.
OR
5. Have alternator and battery load tested by your mechanic. Verify
good working order of vehicle electrical system including distributor,
spark plugs, spark plug wires, voltage regulator etc.

Dynamic Power Measurements
About the Dynamic Power Measurements
The Audio Graph PowerCube is a test instrument used to measure the out-
put 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. 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 evaluation and test-
ing, it is not representative of an amplifier that is connected to a speaker
and playing music.
Music
Music is dynamic; the sound waves are complex and constantly changing.
In order to simulate this, the IHF-202 standard calls for the input signal to
the amplifier to be a 1kHz bursted tone. This signal is input (on for 20 mil-
liseconds) and reduced 20dB for 480 milliseconds. The signal is gradually
increased in level until the amplifier's output exceeds 1% Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD). At 1% distortion becomes audible, therefore, any power
produced above that level is considered unusable. Many manufacturers
represent their amplifiers' output power in excess of 10% distortion. They
use many names for this measurement, such as Total Maximum Power or
Maximum Output Power. This is not indicative of the actual usable output
power.
Listening to Loudspeakers - Not Resistors
A loudspeaker is not a resistor. A resistor's value (resistance measured in
ohms) is fixed. A loudspeaker's impedance is dynamic. It is constantly
changing in value, dependent upon the frequency of the input signal.
Therefore, measuring power with the amplifier loaded into a 4 ohm resis-
tor is not the same as measuring power with the amplifier connected to a 4
ohm speaker. Most people do not listen to music through a resistor.
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 sur-
round/spider), as well as a resistor (voice coil wire).
To simulate a speaker the Audio Graph PowerCube measures output power
into 20 different loads. It tests at 8 ohms, 4 ohms, 2 ohms and 1 ohm. Each
of these impedances is also tested at –60°, –30°, 0°, +30° and +60° phase
angles. These different impedances and phase angles represent the shifts in
impedance and phase that can occur in a typical loudspeaker.

– 31 –
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.
Output Power, in watts, is listed on the left hand side for each impedance
at each phase angle.

• Example of a Punch 200.2 PowerCube

What is an Amplifier?
An amplifier by definition is a voltage generating device, recreating the sig-
nal which is input to it identically but with increased volume. It will be con-
nected 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).

Therefore, a perfect amplifier will be able to maintain the same output volt-
age regardless of load characteristics and will not alter the signal it is repro-
ducing. A perfect amplifier when measured by the Audio Graph PowerCube
would present data that forms a perfect cube. Unfortunately, amplifiers are
not perfect. The laws of physics generally prevent it. A great amplifier is
about the best one can hope to attain.

As you can see by the PowerCube and as you will experience by listening,
your Punch amplifier is a GREAT AMPLIFIER!

ATTENTION: Veuillez lire les instructions suivantes pour l'installation de
cet amplificateur. Ne pas les suivre pourrait causer des blessures ou
endommager le véhicule.

INTRODUCTION
Les ingénieurs de Rockford Fosgate ont conçu l'amplificateur Punch pour
supporter l'environnement rude de l'automobile en délivrant une qualité de
son supérieure dans un ensemble efficace, fiable et flexible. Trans•ana est
un circuit de bas voltage dans l'étage de préamplification de tous les
amplificateurs Punch qui reproduit un son musical clair comme du cristal
et très réel, même à très haut volume. Ceci est accompagné du TOPAZ, un
circuit unique employé pour éliminer les problèmes de bruits parasites
associés aux systémes audiomobile et leur installation. La flexibilité est
assurée par l'emploi d'une XCard incorporée.
La fiabilité est garantie grâce au circuit de protection NOMAD, la tech-
nologie MOSFET et DSM (Composants Montés en Surface) améliorent l'ef-
ficacité de l'amplificateur.
L'ensemble de ces atouts donne à l'amplificateur Punch une qualité de son
inégalable sous une carrosserie “pare-balles.”.

MONTAGE
Montage dans le coffre
Monter l'amplificateur verticalement avec les rainures de haut en bas ce
qui lui permet de refroidir plus facilement.
Montage dans l'habitacle
Monter l'amplificateur dans l'habitacle ne pose aucun problème, du
moment qu'il y ait assez d'air pour le refroidir. Si vous montez l'ampli en
dessous du siège, prévoyez 2.5 cm d'air autour du radiateur.
Installation
Pour votre sécurité, déconnectez la borne négative de la batterie du
véhicule avant de commencer l'installation.
Terminal B+
Il est impératif qu'il y ait un fusible sur le câble pour la connexion à la
masse. Préparez le châssis en grattant la peinture de la surface métallique
et nettoyez la saleté et l'huile. Attachez le câble au châssis avec une vis.

BITTE LESEN SIE DIESE GEBRAUCHSANLEITUNG ZUERST SORGFÄLTIG
DURCH. DAS KANN SIE VOR DEM FALSCHEN EINSATZ, AUSFALLEN
ODER SOGAR BESCHÄDIGUNG DES PRODUKTES ODER IHRES
FAHRZEUGES SCHÜTZEN.
EINLEITUNG
Rockford Ingenieure haben die Punch Verstärker entwickelt. Mit höch-
stem Technologie-Standart, hervorragender Klangqualität, einfacher
Handhabung und bester Servicefreundlichkeit Trans•ana ist eine Nieder-
Volt Schaltung im Vorverstärkerteil aller Pünch Verstärker die für kristallk-
laren Klang auch bei sehr hohen Lautstärken sorgt. TOPAZ, eine einzigar-
tige Erdungsschaltung verhindert und unterdrückt Einstreuungen und
Störungen die nur allzu oft Car Audio Systeme beeinträchtigen. Flexibilität
durch die Vielfalt der Aktivweiche mit ihren XCards, lange Lebensdauer
durch die Schutzschaltung NOMAD und der Einsatz von MOSFET
Transistoren und DSM (Discrete Surface Mount), machen diese Verstärker
so effizient. Das Ergebnis all dieser Komponenten machen Punch-
Verstärker so einzigartig und in ihrer Klangqualität nahezu unschlagbar.

EINBAUORT
Im Fahrzeugkofferraum
Der vertikale Einbau der Endstufen, das bedeutet, dab die Kühlrippen von
oben nach unten verlaufen, gibt dem Verstärker die beste Kühlung.
Auf der Beifahrerseite
Sollte der Verstärker auf der Beifahrerseite montiert werden, so ist es sehr
wichtig, für eine ausreichende Kühlung zu sorgen. Sollte der Verstärker
z.B. unter dem Beifahrersitz montiert werden, sollte dem Kühlkörper
mindestens ein Luftspalt von 2.5 cm bleiben, um so für eine ausre-
ichende Kühlung zu sorgen.
Einbau
Zur Sicherheit klemmen Sie den Negativ-Pol der Batterie während des
gesamten Einbaues ab.
B+ Anschluββ
Die Plus-Leitung MUβ β ca. 45 cm nach dem Plus-Pol der Batterie
abgesichert sein. Preparieren Si die Kabellängen und montieren Sie den
Sicherungshalter im Motorraum. ALLE Verbindungen müssen
wasserdicht sein.

– 41 –
 DEUTSCH
GND Anschluβ β
Preparieren Sie Ihr Kabel für die Negativ Leitung (Erdung). Preparieren Sie
die Anschlubstelle des Erdungskabels, indem Sie das Metall gründlich
reinigen und vom Lack befreien. Befestigen Sie nun die Erdung an dieser
Stelle mit einer Schraube.

REM Anschluβ β
Verbinden Sie das Ein-und Ausschaltungskontroll-Kabel mit Ihrem Radio
(12 Volt positiv). Normalerweise verwenden Sie hierfür die Ant.-Remote
Ihres Radios oder ein eigens dafür vorgesehenes Kabel (Amp-Remote).
Sollte Ihr Radio diesen Anschlub nicht besitzen, so verwenden Sie eine 12
Volt Spannung, die Sie durch einen Schalter ein- und ausschalten können.

ATTENZIONE: SI PREGA DI LEGGERE LE SEGUENTI ISTRUZIONI PER
L'INSTALLAZIONE DI QUESTO PRODOTTO. IL NON SEGUIRLE
POTREBBE RISULTARE SERIAMENTE DANNOSO PER LA PERSONA O
PER IL VEICOLO.

INTRODUZIONE
Gli ingenieri Rockford hanno progettato la serie di amplificatori Punch per
resistere all'ostico ambiente automobilistico mentre suonano con una musi-
calitá superiore, offrendo un insieme versatile, affidabile ed efficiente.
Trans•ana é un circuito a bassa tensione dello stadio preamplificatore del
Punch che permette al suono di essere cristallino e reale anche in presen-
za di volumi molto elevati…tutto questo é accoppiato TOPAZ, un exclusi-
vo circuito di massa impiegato per eliminare i problemi di rumore comune-
mente presenti negli impianti car audio. Il massimo della versatilitá é rag-
giunto con l'impiego delle XCard. L'affidabilitá é completamente garantita
dall'impiego di un circuito di protezione chiamato NOMAD, mentre l'uso
di MOSFET e della tecnologia DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) permette di
raggiungere efficienze elevatissime. Il risultato finale di tutte queste tecn-
nologie moderne é che gli amplificatori Punch suonano meravigliosamente
e sono indistruttibili, a “prova di proiettile.”

DOVE POSIZIONARLO
Nel Bagagliaio
Montando l'amplificatore su una superficie in verticale con le alette
direzionate dall'alto verso il basso si garantirá un miglior raffreddamento
dell'amplificatore.
Nell'abitacolo
Montare l'amplificatore nell'abitacolo si avrá un funzionamento regolare se
si garantisce un flusso d'aria sufficiente. Per l'installazione sotto un sedile,
é necessario avere uno spazio di almeno 2.5 cm attorno a tutto l'amplifi-
catore.
Installazione
Per sicurezza, scollegare il polo negativo della batteria dell'auto prima di
iniziare l'installazione.

 ITALIANO

Terminale B+ (cavo positivo)

Il cavo positivo deve essere protetto da un fusibile a non piú di 45 cm dalla
batteria. Terminare il cavo e installare il fusibile nel vano motore. Tutte le
connessioni devono essere a prova d'acqua.
Terminale GND (cavo negativo)
Decidere la lunghezza del cavo e terminarlo. Preparare la massa grattando
la vernice dal telaio dell'auto ed eliminando tracce di olio o sporco. Fissare
il cavo di massa al telaio con una vite.

Terminale REM (Consenso di accensione)

Collegare il cavo REM ad un positivo presente solo ad autoradio accesa
(normalmente il cavo pilota dell'antenna elettrica o il cavo accessori del-
l'autoradio). Se la sorgente non dovesse essere equipaggiata con queste
uscite, la soluzione raccomandabile é di inserire un interruttore su un cavo
positivo e connettersi all'amplificatore.
