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 pack- age. A grounding technique called TOPAZ was used to eliminate noise problems associated with car audio systems, while flexibil- ity was accomplished with the use of a built-in XCard. Reliability was accomplished with the use of protection circuits called RTP and NOMAD, while MOSFET and DSM technology 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, some exclusively designed by Rockford, are described in the Technical Design Features.
