DESIGN FEATURES

Connections

1.Power LED (Top of unit) – This Blue LED illuminates when the unit is turned on.

2.Thermal LED (Top of unit) – This Red LED illuminates if the amplifier reaches the third stage of thermal protection.The amplifier will shut down to cool if this occurs.

3. Protect LED (Top of unit) – This Yellow LED illuminates if a short circuit or too low of an impedance is detected at the speaker connections.The amplifier will automatically shut down if this occurs.

4.Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the Punch amplifier dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry.

5.Speaker Terminals – The heavy duty, nickel-plated clamp wire connectors (+ and -) will accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 18 AWG.

6.Remote Bass (All models except P200.2) – Boosts low frequency information to overcome road noise and put the bass in your face.The Remote Bass control is a narrow band adjustment at 45Hz variable from 0dB to +18dB with a Gyrator based Punch EQ that eliminates frequency shift with boost. Connection is made with a RJ-45 cable and can be installed in a variety of ways for easy control access.An optional Para-Punch Remote Bass is available which adds an adjustable center frequency control with the adjustable boost control.

7.Gain Control – The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units. It can be adjusted to match output levels from a variety of source units.

8.Variable Crossover – Is a built-in 12dB/octave Butterworth filter selectable for High-Pass (HP),All Pass (AP), or Low-Pass (LP) operation variable from 40Hz to 400Hz.

9.RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for signal level input. They are nickel-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion.

10.RCA Pass-Thru Jacks – The Pass-Thru provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of the vehicle to the rear amplifier location.
