Rockford Fosgate Punch P700-1BD 700 Watt Mono Amplifier
The Punch P700-1bd mono amplifier is specifically designed for medium to high-powered subwoofer applications. The variable crossover and built-in Punch EQ allow precision tuning of Bass, and the infrasonic filter keeps subsonic frequencies from damaging subwoofers. The Pass-Thru RCA jacks provide flexibility as your system grows and keeps Y-adapters to a minimum. This amplifier combines the efficiency of Class-D with the power of Class B and is perfect for running any subwoofer system.Rockford Fosgate Punch Series AmplificationFor over 25 years, Punch amplifiers have set the standard in the car audio amplifier industry and they continue to do so today. It's the reason that they have become the most popular amplifiers in the world. Each of the Punch family amplifiers reproduce sonic perfection along with impressive power in a compact chassis.Optimized for mid-bass speakers or subwoofers.Click to enlarge.All connections are recessed into the amplifier's chassis and located on the bottom edge of the P700-1bd, for a clean, uncluttered install that looks great in any car.Click to enlarge.P700-1bd Features12dB/octave crossover4 Gauge power/ground terminalsAudiophile grade speaker connectionsInfrasonic filterMOSFET output stageMOSFET power supplyRCA pass-thruTop Mounted LED IndicatorsCEA-2006Power ratings on Rockford Fosgate amplifiers conform to CEA-2006 industry standards. These guidelines mean your amplifier's output power ratings are REAL POWER numbers, not inflated marketing ratings.Class bdRockford Fosgate bd topology is a revolutionary patented design, integrating a technology that is more efficient than typical class AB and has lower distortion than class D designs. POWER bd amplifiers are 75-80% efficient vs. 20-60% efficient class ab amplifiers. What does that mean? More power from your amplifier with less drain on your vehicles electrical and charging system.Differential InputsDifferential input circuitry measures the voltage of both the (+) and (-) input signal. The circuitry subtracts the voltage common to both conductors (noise) resulting in only the clean signal. This allows only clean signal to enter the amplifier.DSMDSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.Dynamic Thermal ManagementHeat is often inefficiently dissipated across a heatsink causing "hot spots". Rockford Fosgate engineers have developed an award winning cooling design called DTM. This patent pending design seamlessly manages the output of power supply temperatures, while evenly distributing the excess heat across the entire amplifier.MEHSA3MEHSA3(Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application--gen. 3) reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device life span.NOMADNOMAD (Non Multiplying Advanced Decision) is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances.Punch EQ2In the early 70's, Jim Fosgate studied the acoustical properties of automobiles. Utilizing a real-time analyzer and pink noise, he would graph out the acoustical characteristics of each car he tested. Jim discovered three problems that were common to all cars: a midbass hump between 100-275Hz, a steep roll-off of high frequencies from 2kHz up to 20kHz, and reduced bass response below 50Hz.The Punch EQ on-board equalization circuit helps correct for these acoustical deficiencies in the listening environment. When set to Low-Pass(LP) operation, it becomes a variable Bass Boost. When set to High-Pass (HP) operation, it acts as a variable Mid-Bass and Treble Boost. When set to All Pass (AP) operation, both Bass and Treble frequencies are boosted.Rockford Fosgate AvatarThese Avatars are a personal signature from the Rockford Fosgate team member who designed and engineered this fanatic product. This statement illustrates Rockford's commitment to being Designed and Engineered in the U.S.A.TO-247 MOSFETsRockford Fosgate amps use custom TO-247 MOSFETs. These have 60% more metal tab area for more power capacity, lower impedance and improved heat dissipation over traditional TO-220 MOSFETs found in competitor amps.P700-1bd SpecificationsNumber of Channels:1Rated Power:225W x 1 @ 4-Ohms RMS450W x 1 @ 2-Ohms RMS700W x 1 @ 1-Ohm RMSTotal Power:700 WattsDynamic Power:867 WattsBridgeable:NoEfficiency (average):84.7% @ 4-Ohm80.5% @ 2-OhmCrossover Controls:Low-Pass (LP): 35-250Hz 24dB/octave ButterworthTone Controls:Punch EQ2 Bass: 0dB to +18dB @ 45HzSignal Input:Low level: 1 RCA pairSignal Output:Low level: 1 RCA pairPower Input Connector:BlockPower Wire Gauge:4 AWGSpeaker Output Connector:Screw terminal barrier stripSpeaker Wire Gauge:8 AWG to 18 AWGHeat Sink Type:Cast aluminumCooling:ConvectionRemote Controls:Optional PEQ Remote Punch EQ(overrides built-in Punch EQ2)Visual Indicators:PowerThermalProtectCircuit Topology Class:Class bdFrequency Response:20Hz to 250kHz +/- 0.5dBShipping Weight:--Dimensions (HxWxL):2.25 x 7.625 x 10.25 (in)5.71 x 19.37 x 26.03 (cm)Thirty Years of Rockford FosgateRockford Fosgate products have been designed and engineered in Tempe, Arizona since the beginning.
