Panel Install

6. Cut out a 2”x 7/8” hole in the panel, with a maximum panel thickness of

3/8”. Ensure there is enough room within the panel area for connection.

7. Route the cable through the hole and connect to the remote.

8. Press the remote into the panel cutout until it clicks in place.

Operation

9. Turn clockwise to add Punch to amplifier bass frequencies.

CAUTION:Overexcursion and subsequent damage may occur at high levels of boost

NOTE:An optional Para-Punch Remote Bass is available which adds an adjustable center frequency control with the adjustable boost control.

ADJUSTING GAIN

To adjust the gain setting, turn the amplifier gains all the way down (counter-clockwise).Turn the source unit volume up until distortion is audible and then turn it down a bit until the distortion is inaudible.This will be about all the way up on most source units. Next, increase the amplifier gain setting until adequate volume is achieved. Rockford Fosgate source units do not distort, so the volume can be used at maximum setting.

NOTE:Best signal to noise and dynamic range are realized with the gain at minimum. Most users find adequate gain and volume is achieved at about halfway in the adjustment range.

CAUTION:Avoid setting the amplifier gain very high as noise and distortion will increase significantly.

NOTE:For a more in depth setting procedure, contact Rockford Technical Support.

ADJUSTING CROSSOVER FREQUENCY

Placing the switch in the HP position sets the amplifier to the High Pass mode, enabling frequencies above the cut-off point to pass, adjustable between 40-400Hz.

Placing the switch in the AP position sets the amplifier to the All Pass mode, preventing any crossover adjustment, allowing all frequencies to pass.

Placing the switch in the LP position sets the amplifier to the Low Pass mode, enabling frequencies below the cut-off point to pass, adjustable between 40-400Hz.

Turn the crossover adjustment knob all the way down.With the system playing, turn the crossover adjustment knob up slowly until the desired crossover point is achieved.
