THE RESULT: Less connections, improved reliability, shorter signal paths, superior signal-to-noise ratio and awesome sonic performance. Figure 1 Thru-Hole Surface Mount Component [...]

– 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. Additionally, the XCard can be config- ured for high-pass, low-pass and full range oper[...]

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. 2. End Caps – Interchangeable end caps conceal the wiring [...]

– 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. 8. Input Sensitivity Controls – The input level controls [...]

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. When deciding how to lay out your new system, be sure that each [...]

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. However, to maximize the performance of your amp[...]

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[...]
