INTRODUCTION
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.
