Dear Customer, Congratulations on your purchase of the world's finest brand of car audio amplifiers. At Rockford Fosgate we are committed to musical reproduction at its best, and we are pleased you chose our product.
G ETTING S T ARTED T ABLE OF C ONTENTS Introduction ...................................................................................... 1 Punch 4020 Amplifier Accessory Pack .............................................. 1 Rockford Fosgate Accessories .
– 1 – I NTRODUCTION The Punch 4020 is a 4-channel amplifier which offers 20 Watts per channel when driven into 4 Ohms. The amplifier utilizes a 2/ 4 input selector switch and XCard crossovers. When building a 4-channel amplifier, a major design challenge is to maintain sound quality in a limited space.
– 2 – R OCKFORD F OSGA TE A CCESSORIES The following accessories were designed to enhance the perfor- mance of the Punch 4020 amplifier. Energy Storage Capacitor (PCH-C1) The Punch 1 farad capacitor is used to provide extra current needed by amplifiers to reproduce musical transients.
– 3 – T ECHNICAL D ESIGN F EA TURES ◆ trans• ana The trans• ana ( TRANS conductance A dvanced N on-multiplying A mplifier) is a novel circuit that utilizes a short-loop complemen- tary topology and advanced Real Time Protection circuitry.
– 4 – to be obtained in amplifiers of desirable package size without resorting to “ amplifier-on-a-chip ” shortcuts. These advantages are shown below in Figure 1. THE RESULT: Less connections, improved reliability, shorter signal paths, superior signal-to-noise ratio and awesome sonic performance.
– 5 – ◆ XCard (Internal Crossover) The Punch 4020 amplifier utilizes internal active crossovers. These crossovers have many performance advantages such as using dis- crete components for exact frequency adjustments which are far superior to potentiometers.
P UNCH 4020 D ESIGN F EA TURES 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.
– 7 – 6. RCA Input Jacks – The industry standard RCA jack provides an easy connection for signal level input. They are gold-plated to resist the signal degradation caused by corrosion. 7. Signal Input Switch – This switch allows selection of 2 channel or 4 channel source unit feed.
I NST ALLA TION C ONSIDERA TIONS – 8 – This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Punch amplifier. Checking your battery and present sound system, as well as pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time.
M OUNTING L OCA TION The mounting location and position of your amplifier will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated under normal operation. The design of our cast aluminum heatsink serves to easily dissipate the heat generated over a wide range of operating condi- tions.
Amplifiers will put an increased load on the vehicle's battery and charging system. We 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.
– 11 – 3. Prepare a length of cable to be used for the ground connection. Strip 5/8" of insulation from the end of the cable as described above and connect to the appropriate terminal of the ampli- fier. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease.
– 12 – U SING THE XC ARD The crossover functions are controlled through the use of an XCard and can be set for high-pass, low-pass or full range operation.

T ROUBLESHOOTING – 18 – Amplifier does not turn on. (Power LED is off) Symptom Diagnosis Remedy Voltage applied to the REM terminal of the amplifier is not between 10.5 and 15.5 volts or there is no voltage present. Voltage to the B+ termi- nal of the amplifier is not between 10.
Speaker Output Low or Distorted Readjust input gains of amplifier. Check system with known working source and repair or replace orignal source as needed. Check speaker polarity and correct as needed. Check signal input switch and XCard positons and repair or replace as neces- sary.
– 20 – Engine Noise on the Speaker Out- puts of the Ampli- fier Disconnect existing speak- ers and test with known working speakers. If engine noise is gone, check and repair wiring and installa- tion of speakers as neces- sary. Check connections, substi- tute with known working cables and repair or replace as necessary.
