My favourite system I ever owned was a Punch 60 and Punch 40 combo in my 1983 Mustang GT. The 60 ran my Macrom mids and highs and a bridged center channel with a potentimeter to adjust the level. The 40 ran 4 Punch 8" subs at 4 ohms. It was such a well balanced sound system. It scored a 34 on the RTA with no extra equalization.

They were always a little pricy, but they always delivered tons of clean, reliable power at well over their rated specs. not surprised they still have a massive cult following after all these years.

Like a month later, I went to the beach and remember driving up and down the main drag and everyone had their systems bumping. Good times. Would love to get another just for nostalgia.

@IzziedeD 6 ай бұрын

well the input level/gains are independent, so you can scope em or meter them and dial them in perfectly. whereas, today's gear is mostly using stereo gain pots, so the deviation from the left channel to right is essentially the deviation between the two halves of the pot. unfortunately, with stereo pots, balance is not something yhat can be adjusted, and they would need much more expensive pots to get them closer to identical.

@wal2 6 ай бұрын

The 2 ohms on the Dyno is a resistive load and speakers will produce a reactive load so it’s understandable but I will say the 40 and 200 DSM models I tested before had no problem at 2 ohms mono 🤷‍♂️

Back in 1991, I had this amp called the Hott Setup 2.125. It was not exactly cheap. And some people even said it was made by Orion. But it never really impressed. Despite being rated at 125Wx2, it just didn’t seem to hit very hard. Eventually, I replaced it with a Punch 60 DSM when it came out. And OMG, what a difference it made. Despite being rated at less than a quarter the output, it flat-out blew that Hott Setup out of the water!

In the Honda Civic, the 60 ran 7" Focal mids and tweets in front doors and the 40 ran 2 Cerwin Vega 8ohm 10" woofers bridged. The sytem was 2ohm all the way around, but because of the rules at the time (everything rated at 4 ohms), he was making some serious power. That car did really well, within the top 3 if I remember right.

These results are also in every manual and features the punch 200 which is a great amplifier 😊 funny fact from 1995: the German sellers here in Hamburg suggested to get the 40,60,100 or 200 for 2 Ohms mono operation 😅😂 that’s why I came in touch with a punch 40ix. At this time I didn’t even know or heard something about Rockford Fosgate because only special shops were allowed to sell them, from this year my first Punch 40ix ( 600 German marks ) was forced to power a 2 Ohms subwoofer for 5 years without a problem 👍

Damn 30 yrs. I remember seeing these in magazines thinking they looked so cool. Always wanted to own some of those. Only ever owned the 99-2002 Punch amps.

There was this one killer install I'll never forget which was a fox body mustang where the owner cut out the floor boards and had these amps liquid cooled under glass in the foot wells. That was right when these DSM amps came out. Would love to see that CAE article again.

This was the very first name brand amp I bought. Junior year of highschool, two series one 12's on a Punch 60 DSM. I thought I was doing it....

Around 1995 or so I had bridged punch 60 at 1.66 ohms (three 10's), took it fine due to box rise, and it slammed hard. Eventually got stolen. Miss that amp.

I had a fosgate hx2 10in in a bestbuy bandpass wired at 2ohms😂 the fuse would last 2 to 4 days before itd blow 😅 i had no idea how to wire a dual voicecoil for ohms. Btw it lasted 3 yrs of blowing fuses weekly before i let the smoke out driving home from school. Now I know hiw many watts i was pushing at 2ohms😂 thanks Bigdwiz
