◆ TRANS•ANA

(TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier)

The

TRANS•ANA

(TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a

circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low

voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage

rails via a pair of driver transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an

active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies.

This allows amplifier performance similar to trans•

nova

which is

highly stable and linear while utilizing the advantages of a non-

floating power supply.

THE RESULT: An extended frequency bandwidth accurately supplied

to the output stages of the amplifier.

◆ TOPAZ (Tracking Operation Pre-Amplifier Zone)

The

TOPAZ

(Tracking Operation Pre-Amplifier Zone) circuitry solves

ground loop noise problems common to automotive amplifier design.

This innovative new development allows vastly improved isolation of

the input signal grounds from the power supply ground of the

amplifier. This is accomplished by allowing the source unit to control

the potential “environment” of the entire input structure or “zone” of

the amplifier. This process improves the noise rejection of the ampli-

fier by 30-40dB – an astounding 30-100 times better than amplifiers

without TOPAZ.

THE RESULT: Elimination of troublesome ground loop noise between

source and amplifier.

◆ MOSFET Devices

Rockford Fosgate is one of the few manufacturers in the sound

community to utilize MOSFET devices in both the

power supply

and

the

output stages

MOSFET

(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect

Transistor) devices offer several important inherent advantages over

the 30 year old technology of bi-polar design. These advantages

include: thermal stability, switching speed, ultra low output imped-

ance and wider bandwidth linearity. In addition, MOSFETs operate

very similarly to vacuum tubes in that they are more linear than bi-

polar transistors. However, MOSFETs can deliver the midrange clarity

without the limitations of transient response and high frequency

phase shifting normally associated with tube operation.

THE RESULT: Operational characteristics similar to vacuum tubes

without the performance limitations of tube design.

◆ DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) Technology

The

DSM

(Discrete Surface Mount) manufacturing process combines

the advantages of both discrete components and integrated circuitry.

Rockford Fosgate is the only American amplifier manufacturer to have

invested millions into this process. DSM components differ from

conventional discrete components in different ways. They are more

compact, more rugged, and they efficiently dissipate generated heat.

Using them wherever appropriate allows the advantages associated

with discrete circuitry to be retained while also providing room for

both highly advanced processing features and generous PC board

copper paths where needed. Their short lead-out structures allow

maximum audio performance and highest signal-to-noise ratios 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.

Figure 1

THE RESULT: Fewer connections, improved reliability, shorter signal

paths, superior signal-to-noise ratio and awesome sonic performance.

◆ NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision)

All Rockford Fosgate amplifiers use an

analog computer process

maximize safe output power under all operating conditions. The

innovative

NOMAD

(NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision) system

is the most sophisticated version of this technique ever used, bringing

previously unavailable levels of accuracy, stability, temperature

immunity and reliability to this critical process. NOMAD makes

advanced decisions based on device voltages to precisely control the

awesome levels of current available in the output MOSFETs to safe

values – but only when absolutely needed.

THE RESULT: Extremely fast protection system that always protects

the amplifier and never degrades the sound.

– 4 –

◆ High Level Inputs

The high level inputs on the Rockford Fosgate amplifiers convert the

speaker line outputs (high level) to preamp line inputs (low level).

This allows amplifier compatibility with a variety of source units as

well as the ability to integrate into factory systems without the need

for external adapters.

THE RESULT: Allows compatibility with factory and aftermarket

source units.

◆ XCard Crossover (2.6x & 4.6x)

The 2.6x and 4.6x amplifiers utilize 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 operation. With slight

modification, many crossover frequencies and slope configurations

can be achieved.

THE RESULT: Increased system design flexibility with a precise

electronic crossover without the limitations of conventional poten-

tiometer designs.

1. Extruded Heatsink

The extruded aluminum heatsink of the RF amplifier dissipates

heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry.

2. Power/Speaker Barrier Strip

The barrier strip uses screw terminals that will accept #10 spade

lugs or bare speaker and power wire sizes from 10-18 AWG.

These gold-plated connectors are immune to corrosion that will

cause signal degradation.

3. 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.

4. High Level Inputs

connection of a source unit that has only speaker line (high level)

outputs.

5. Input Sensitivity Controls

The input level controls are preset for 500mV which will match

the output of most source units. They can be adjusted to match

output levels from a variety of source units.

6. Internal Crossover

The built-in crossover card is configurable for a multitude of

operating frequencies. The orientation of the card in its socket

determines its function of high-pass, low-pass or full range

operation.

7. LED Power Indicator

The LED gives a visual indication of the status of the amplifier,

lighting when the unit is turned on.

8. Bias Controls

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the amplifier:

Wire Cutters #2 Phillips Screwdriver

Wire Strippers Assorted wire connectors

Wire Crimpers Battery Post Wrench

Voltmeter Electric Hand Drill with assorted bits

This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for

installing your new 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 on the layout

of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily

accessible for making adjustments.

Before beginning any installation, be sure to follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before

attempting to install the amplifier.

2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to

beginning the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to

mounting your amplifier in place.

4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high

current wires.

5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to

minimize signal or power loss.

6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks,

fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical

wiring when working on any vehicle.

7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside

the vehicle provides the best protection.

8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or

plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal,

especially the firewall.

9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage

with proper fusing. Install a fuseholder and appropriate fuse on

the +12V power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.

10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint

from the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection.

Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always

be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis,

of the vehicle.

– 8 –

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 aluminum heatsink serves to easily

dissipate the heat generated over a wide range of operating condi-

tions. However, to maximize the performance of your amplifier, care

should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation.

Trunk Mounting

Mounting the amplifier vertically on a surface with the fin grooves

running up and down will provide the best cooling of the amplifier.

Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will work but

provides less cooling capability than vertical mounting.

Mounting the amplifier upside down to the rear deck of the trunk will

not provide proper cooling and will severely affect the performance

of the amplifier and is strongly

not

recommended.

Passenger Compartment Mounting

Mounting the amplifier in the passenger compartment will work as

long as you provide a sufficient amount of air for the amplifier to cool

itself. If you are going to mount the amplifier under the seat of the

vehicle, you must have at least 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the

amplifier's heatsink.

Mounting the amplifier with less than 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around

the amplifier's heatsink in the passenger compartment will not

provide proper cooling and will severely affect the performance of

the amplifier and is strongly

not

recommended.

Engine Compartment Mounting

Rockford Fosgate amplifiers should

never

be mounted in the engine

compartment. Not only will this void your warranty but could create

an embarrassing situation caused by the ridicule from your friends.

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 Rockford amplifier without problems,

although battery and alternator life can be reduced slightly. To

maximize the performance of your Rockford Fosgate amplifier, we

suggest the use of a heavy duty battery, high output alternator and an

energy storage capacitor.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

– 9 –

CAUTION:

Avoid running power wires near the low level input

cables, antenna, power leads, sensitive equipment or harnesses. The

power wires carry substantial current and could induce noise into

the audio system.

• For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to

beginning the installation.

1. Remove the cover and configure the internal XCard crossovers

prior to installation. Refer to “Using the XCard” (page 13) for

further information.

2. Plan the wire routing. Take care when running signal level RCA

cables to keep them close together but isolated from the amplifier's

power cables and any high power auto accessories, especially

electric motors. This is done to prevent coupling the noise from

radiated electrical fields into the audio signal. When feeding the

wires through the firewall or any metal barrier, protect them with

plastic or rubber grommets to prevent short circuits. Leave the

wires long at this point to adjust for a precise fit at a later time.

3. Prepare the Power cable for attachment to the amplifier by

stripping 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the

bared wire into the B+ terminal and tighten the set screw to secure

the cable in place.

NOTE: The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's

battery. Install the fuseholder under the hood and prepare the

cable ends as stated above. Connections should be water tight.

– 10 –

Trim the power cable within 18" of the battery and

strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire.

Cut the wire loop that is attached to the fuseholder

in half and splice the fuse into the power line

using appropriate inline connectors. Use the

section of cable that was trimmed earlier and

connect it to the other end of the fuseholder.

4. Strip 1/2" 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 positive terminal. Do not install the fuse

at this time.

5. Prepare the Ground cable for attachment to the amplifier by

stripping 1/2" of insulation from the end of the wire. Insert the bared

wire into the GND terminal and tighten the set screw to secure the

cable in place. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint

from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and

grease. Strip the other end of the wire and attach a ring connector.

Fasten the cable to the chassis using a non-anodized screw and a

star washer.

6. Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by

stripping 1/2" of insulation from the wire end. Insert the bared

wire into the REM terminal and tighten the set screw to secure the

cable into place. Connect the other end of the REM wire to a

switched 12 volt positive source. The switched voltage is usually

taken from the source unit's auto antenna or the accessory lead.

If the source unit does not have these outputs available, the

recommended solution is to wire a mechanical switch in line with

a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.

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 the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA

cables into the input jacks at the amplifier.

9. Connect the speakers. Strip the speaker wires 1/2" and insert into

the speaker terminal and tighten the set screw to secure into

place. Be sure to maintain proper speaker polarity.

DO NOT

chassis ground any of the speaker leads as unstable operation

may result.

10. Perform a final check of the completed system wiring to ensure

that all connections are accurate. Check all power and ground

connections for frayed wires and loose connections which could

cause problems.

USING PASSIVE CROSSOVERS

A passive crossover is a circuit that uses capacitors and/or coils and is

placed on speaker leads between the amplifier and speaker. The

crossover delegates a specific range of frequencies to the speaker for

optimum driver performance. A crossover network can perform one of

three functions: High-Pass (capacitors), Low-Pass (inductors or coils)

and Bandpass (combination of capacitor and coil).

The most commonly used passive crossover networks are 6dB/octave

systems. These are easy to construct and require one component per

filter. Placing this filter in series with the circuit will reduce power to

the speaker by 6dB/octave above or below the crossover point

depending on whether it is a high-pass or low-pass filter. More

complex systems such as 12dB/octave or 18dB/octave can cause

impedance problems if not professionally designed.

Passive crossovers are directly dependent upon the speaker's imped-

ance and component value for accuracy. When passive crossover

components are used in multiple speaker systems, the crossover's

effect on the overall impedance should be taken into consideration

along with the speaker's impedance when determining amplifier

loads.

CAUTION: The Rockford Fosgate amplifiers are not recom-

mended for impedance loads below 2

Ω

stereo and 4

Ω

bridged

(mono) loads.

High Level Input – “Single Ended” Type

This configuration is used for source units that have “Single Ended” speaker outputs.

Only the “+” output is “hot,” whereas the “–” or “common” are common grounded. To

verify your source unit has these outputs, connect an ohm meter across the “–” output

and radio chassis for a reading of 0Ω.

• L+ and R+ Inputs are connected to corresponding “+” speaker outputs

• L– and R– Inputs are

not used

• GND Input is connected to “–” speaker outputs

CAUTION: Use 1/8" female connectors when using the high level inputs and DO NOT

solder wires directly to the connector

High Level Input – “B.T.L.” Type

This configuration is used for source units that have “B.T.L.” speaker outputs (Bridged

Transformer Less

not

Bacon Tomato & Lettuce). Both “+” and “–” outputs are considered

“hot” or “floating.”

• L+ and R+ Inputs are connected to corresponding “+” speaker outputs

• L– and R– Inputs are connected to corresponding “–” speaker outputs

• GND Input

is not used

unless noise problems arise
