INTRODUCTION
The Rockford Fosgate Power 100HD is an automotive stereo
power amplifier which will provide state-of-the-art sound in cars,
vans, boats, or wherever a 9 to 16 volt battery is available.
The Power 100HD adjustable input circuits are designed to
match almost any music source, from low preamp levels to
speaker levels, with negligible noise. The amplifiers will drive all
normal speaker types, impedances, and configurations.
Internal fusing in the Power 100HD amplifier prevents damage
due to shorts, system power problems or internal failures. The
Power 100HD incorporates new internal battery line filtering
and
extensive noise prevention circuitry.
Due to the technical nature of our products, no installation
instructions are enclosed. Damage to your new amplifier, speakers
