Rockford Fosgate 800, 100, 500, 250, 150 manual

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.
