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.Variable Crossover – The amplifiers have a built-in 12dB/octave Butterworth filter with a crossover point variable from 50Hz to 210Hz. The crossover can be set to Low-Pass (LP) or it can be bypassed by setting it to All-Pass (AP).

3.RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.

4.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 variety of source units.

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

6.REM Terminal – This spade terminal is used to remotely turn-on and turn-off the amplifier when +12V DC is applied.

7.Power Terminals – The power and ground connectors on the Punch amplifier are gold-plated and will accommodate up to 8 AWG wire maximizing the input current capability of the amplifier.

8.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.

9.Punch Bass – The Punch Bass control helps correct for acoustical deficiencies in the listening environment by helping produce full range sound without adding excessive boost.. The Punch Bass control is a narrow band adjustment at 45Hz switchable from 0dB to +6dB to +12dB.

10.Speaker Terminals – The heavy duty, gold-plated terminal block connectors (+ and –) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG. These gold-plated connectors are immune to corrosion that can cause signal deterioration.

Mono Amplifier specifications

Rockford Fosgate is a name synonymous with high-quality automotive audio systems, and their mono amplifiers are among the best in the market for bass lovers. Designed to deliver powerful performance, these amplifiers provide an exceptional audio experience that elevates your music to a whole new level.

One of the standout features of Rockford Fosgate mono amplifiers is their impressive power output. These amplifiers are engineered to handle substantial power levels, making them perfect for driving subwoofers. The robust MOSFET power supply ensures efficient operation, allowing for maximum output without compromising on sound quality. This results in deep, rich bass that is sure to impress even the most discerning audiophiles.

Rockford Fosgate employs advanced technologies in their mono amplifiers to enhance performance further. The use of Class D topology is a prime example; this design is highly efficient and minimizes heat production. As a result, users can enjoy extended listening sessions without worrying about overheating or excessive power drain. This efficiency also translates to a lighter weight, making installation more straightforward and flexible.

Another notable characteristic is the inclusion of variable low-pass filters (LPF), allowing users to tailor the audio output according to their preferences. With adjustable settings, you can fine-tune the crossover frequency, ensuring that your subwoofers receive the right frequencies for optimal performance. Additionally, many models come with a built-in bass boost feature, allowing users to amplify specific bass frequencies for extra impact.

Durability is also a key aspect of Rockford Fosgate’s mono amplifiers. Constructed with high-quality materials, these amplifiers are designed to withstand the rigors of automotive environments. Features like a full-onboard protection circuit safeguard against overheating, short circuits, and overloading, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Incorporating the latest technologies, Rockford Fosgate mono amplifiers often feature remote bass level control. This handy feature allows users to adjust bass levels on the fly without needing to access the amplifier directly. This flexibility is ideal for those who wish to fine-tune their audio input based on listener preferences or track variations.

In summary, Rockford Fosgate mono amplifiers stand out due to their exceptional power output, efficient Class D topology, customizable audio settings, and durable build quality. These characteristics make them a popular choice for audio enthusiasts looking to enhance their in-car listening experience. Whether you are a casual listener or a dedicated audiophile, these amplifiers offer the power and versatility needed to bring your music to life.
