DESIGN FEATURES 1. BRT(Boosted Rail Technology) LED – This LED illuminates when the unit is in boost mode. 2. Power/Protect LED – This LED illuminates Blue when the unit is turned on and Red if a short circuit/low impedance is detected at the speaker connections or the amplifier’s internal components become too hot engaging the protection. The amplifier will shut down to cool if this occurs. 3.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The following is a list of tools needed for installation: Fuse-holder and fuse.
INSTALLATION BATTERY AND CHARGING 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. Stock electrical systems which are in good condition should be able to handle the extra load of any Punch Series amplifier without problems, although battery and alternator life can be reduced slightly.
INSTALLATION Power Connection 7. Securely mount the amplifier to the vehicle or amp rack. Be careful not to mount the amplifier on cardboard or plastic panels. Doing so may enable the screws to pull out from the panel due to road vibration or sudden vehicle stops. 8. Connect from source signal by plugging the RCA cables into the RCA/Speaker Harness input jacks, then insert the four pin Molex connector into the mating four pin INPUT connector at the amplifier.
OPERATION ADJUSTING CROSSOVER Placing the crossover switch in the HP position sets the amplifier to the 80Hz High Pass mode, enabling frequencies above the cut-off point to pass. Placing the crossover switch in the AP position sets the amplifier to the All Pass mode, preventing any crossover adjustment, allowing all frequencies to pass. Placing the crossover switch in the LP position sets the amplifier to the 80Hz Low Pass mode, enabling frequencies below the cut-off point to pass.
TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: If you are having problems after installation follow the Troubleshooting procedures below. Procedure 1: Check Amplifier for proper connections. Verify that POWER light is on. If POWER light is on skip to Step 3, if not continue. 1. Check in-line fuse on battery positive cable. Replace if necessary. 2. Verify that Ground connection is connected to clean metal on the vehicle’s chassis. Repair/replace if necessary. 3.
