Product Description
Whether you're looking to drive high frequency component speakers or low frequency subwoofers, the P500-2
has the power and flexibility you need to put some serious PUNCH in your vehicle. The power available from
such a small amp means it's a great match for a 2-ohm DVC subwoofer or pair of 8-ohm SVC subwoofers.
Rockford Fosgate Punch Series Amplification
For 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.

Top Mounted LED Indicators
CEA-2006 Compliant
Power 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.
Differential Inputs
Differential 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.
DSM (Discrete Surface Mount)
DSM utilize 1% tight-tolerances improving efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete
components and lowers operating temperature.
Dynamic Thermal Management
Evenly distributes excess heat across entire amplifier heatsink.
MEHSA3
MEHSA3 reduces MOSFET temperatures, lowers distortion, increases durability and prolongs the output device
life span.
NOMAD
NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and

3. dangerously low speaker impedances.
Punch EQ2
Onboard equalizer with up to +18dB @ 35Hz and/or up to +12dB boost at 12kHz.
TO-247 MOSFETs
Rockford 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.
TRANS·ana
Trans·ana simplifies the signal path of the amplifier allowing the signal to travel through the amplifier at a lower
voltage. The result is greater reliability and exceptional sound quality.
