User manual BOSS CHAOS REV-800

[. . . ] A special feature on this Class D amp is DataLink circuitry, which allows you to "strap" together two CX2500D's or two CX3500D models for an astounding total maximum output power of 5000 or 7000 watts, respectively. Features Your new CHAOS EXXTREME amplifier features the following: · Class D operation · MOSFET PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) Power Supply · One Ohm stable mono operation · Thermal, overload and speaker short protection · Soft turn-on circuit · Remote turn-on/turn-off circuit · Variable input gain control · Input voltage sensitivity selector · Variable subsonic filter: 14-40 Hz, 12dB/octave · Variable low pass filter: 50-150 Hz, 12dB/octave · Variable 0-+18dB Bass Boost · 0/180º Phase Shift selector · Nickel-plated RCA low level inputs · Nickel-plated speaker and power terminals · LED power and protection indicators · Black anodized heatsink · Remote subwoofer level control CX2500D · CX3500D Amplifier User's Manual - page 2 What is included? When first unpacking your new amplifier, please check first that the package contains all of the items below. If something is missing, contact the store where you purchased the amplifier. · Class D amplifier · Remote subwoofer level control · Remote subwoofer control cable · DataLink cable (for strapping two identical CHAOS EXXTREME Class D amps together) · Four (4) mounting screws · If there is smoke or any peculiar odor present during use or if there is damage to any of the component enclosures, immediately unplug the power cord and send the amplifier to your local dealer or service center as soon as possible . Installation precautions Before you drill or cut any holes, investigate your car's layout very carefully. Take special care when you work near the gas tank, fuel lines, hydraulic lines and electrical wiring. [. . . ] Before making or breaking power connections in your system, disconnect the vehicle battery. Confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals. If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the amplifier. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage to your audio system or your amplifier which is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. General precautions Before installing and using your new amplifier, please become familiar with all the information contained in this manual. Dangerous high voltages are present which may result in electric shock. · To avoid risk of electronic shock or damage to the amplifier, do not permit any of this equipment to become damp or wet from water or drinks. If this does occur, immediately unplug the power wires and send the amplifier to your local dealer or service center as soon as possible. Mounting the amplifier 1. Find a suitable location in the vehicle in which to mount the amplifier. Make sure there is sufficient air circulation around the intended mounting location. CX2500D · CX3500D Amplifier User's Manual - page 3 3. Mark the location for the mounting hole screws by positioning the amplifier where you wish to install it. Please try to avoid overloading the amp in this manner. Tips for making your system as safe as possible When making electrical connections to the amplifier, please observe the following: · Always use 4GA or heavier wire for power and ground connections. Make sure there is circuit protection (such as a fuse) on the positive power lead within 18" of the battery. · When making a ground connection, always use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis ground point. · Wire the remote turn-on connection to the remote turn-on lead of your EQ or head unit. · Fuses protect BOTH the amplifier and the electrical system of your vehicle from faulty conditions. If you must replace a fuse on the amplifier, you must use a fuse of exactly the same type and rating. A different type of fuse or rating may result in damage or cause a fire. Don't misuse the level control! Do not mistake the input level control for a volume control!It is designed ONLY to match the output level of your audio source to the input level of your amplifier. Do not adjust this input level to maximum unless your input level requires it. Ignoring these instructions will result in an input overload to the amplifier, and excessive audio distortion. [. . . ] There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit. CX2500D · CX3500D Amplifier User's Manual - page 5 Low Level Input Wiring Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Always use a high-quality RCA cable for best audio performance.
