2 Amplifier Accessory Pack The accessory pack included with each amplifier contains the mounting hardware necessary to secure the amp to the vehicle and to attach the end caps to the amplifier .
3 Power Mono Amplifier Feature Chart POWER AMPLIFIER # of Channels 1 Stable Into: (mono) 2 Ω CIRCUITRY Class bd MEHSA 1 - heat dissipating technology TO P AZ 2 - patented noise eliminating circuitry.
4 Design Feature S 1. Cast Aluminum Heatsink – The cast aluminum heatsink of the Punch amplifier dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry . The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs.
5 6. 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. 7. Gain Control – The input gain control is preset to match the output of most source units.
6 Installation Considerations This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Punch amplifier . Checking your battery and present sound sys- tem, as well as pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes, will save installation time.
7 Mounting Location The mounting location and position of your amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated during normal operation. The design of our cast aluminum heatsink serves to easily dissipate the heat generated over a wide range of operating conditions.
8 Battery and Charging Amplifiers will put an increased load on the vehicle's battery and charging system. W e recommend checking your alternator and battery condition to ensure that the electrical system has enough capacity to handle the increased load of your stereo system.
9 3. Strip 3/8" from the battery end of the power cable and crimp a large ring terminal to the cable. Use the ring terminal to connect to the battery pos- itive terminal. Do not install the fuse at this time. 4. Prepare a length of cable to be used for the ground connection.
