This manual provides information on the features, installation and operation of the Series 1 2300, 2600x and 4600x Amplifiers. We suggest you save this manual for future reference.

We strongly recommend you have your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer and Service Center install your new Series 1 amplifier. If you do choose to install your Series 1 amplifier yourself, please be sure to read the entire manual before beginning.

OPERATING FEATURES

The Series 1 stereo power amplifiers provide state-of-the-art sound in cars, vans, boats, or wherever a high current 12 volt power source is available. Features include:

Discrete Surface Mount Technology – a manufacturing method that allows the packaging of complex circuitry in small areas, reducing noise and crosstalk for lower distortion.

Active Electronic Crossover Module – built into the 2600x and 4600x features 12dB/octave Butterworth filters. The independent crossover modes in these plug-in modules allow for various configuration possibilities.

N-Type V-FET Output Drive Circuitry– delivers music with lower noise and distortion while maintaining a higher slew rate, increased efficiency and higher power output capability than most amplifiers of this class.

High Current/High Voltage Output – delivers the power needed for all listening levels and music frequencies to hear every note.

Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) DC/DC Non-Regulated Power Supply – assures wider dynamic headroom than the more common regulated power supplies.

High or Low Level Adjustable Input Sensitivity – permits maximum compatibility with source units. This allows adjustment of the input sensitivity level of the power amplifier for RCA (preamp level) or speaker (high level) inputs.

Real Time Power Protection (R.T.P.P.) – allows for the greatest power output under all load conditions. When output reaches an unsafe level it will be reduced, unlike current limiting which often causes premature protection or failure to protect at all.
