Notes Notes

If you experience operation or performance problems with this product, compare yourinstallation with the electrical wiring diagram on the previous pages. If problems persist,read the following troubleshooting tips which may help eliminate the problems.

The high level input(s) should only be used when your head unit lacks RCA outputs.If the RCA outputs are not present, connect the speaker outputs from the receiverto the high level input connector of the amplifier. Be sure to observe polarity toavoid audio phase problems.

Protection LEDcomes on whenamplifier ispowered up.

Check for short circuits on speaker leads.Turn down the volume control on the head unit to prevent overdriving.Remove speaker leads, and reset the amplifier. If the Protection LED stillcomes on, then the amplifier is faulty and needs servicing.

High hiss in thespeakers.

Disconnect all RCA inputs to the amplifiers. If the hiss disappears, thenplug in the component driving the amplifier and unplug its inputs. If thehiss disappears at this point, go on until the faulty/noisy component isfound.It is best to set the amplifier's input level control as low as possible. Thebest subjective signal-to-noise ratio is achieved in this manner. Try to setthe head unit as high as possible (without distortion) and the amp inputlevel as low as possible.

Squealing noisefrom speakers.

Check for improperly grounded RCA interconnects.

Distorted sound. Check that the Input Level Control is set to match the signal level of thehead unit. Always try to set the Input Level as low as possible.Check that all crossover frequencies are properly set.Check for short circuits on the speaker leads.

Amplifier getsvery hot.

Check that the minimum speaker impedance for the amp model is correct.Check that there is good air circulation around the amp. In someapplications, it may be necessary to add external cooling fan(s).

Engine noise(static type)

This is usually caused by poor quality RCA cables,which can pick upradiated noise. Use only the best quality cables, and route them awayfrom power cables.

Engine noise(alternator whine)

Check that speaker leads are not shorted to the vehicle chassis.Check that the RCA grounds are not shorted to the vehicle chassis.Check that the head unit is properly grounded.

Before installing and using yournew amplifier, please be-come familiar with all the infor-mation contained in this manual.

Please keep this manual in a safeplace for future reference.

Do not open or attempt to repairthis unit yourself. Dangerous highvoltages are present which may resultin electric shock. Refer any repairs toa qualified service technician.

To avoid risk of electronic shock ordamage to the amplifier, do not permitany of this equipment to becomedamp or wet from water or drinks. Ifthis does occur, immediately unplugthe power wires and send the amplifierto your local dealer or service centeras soon as possible.

If there is smoke or any peculiarodor present during use or if there isdamage to any of the componentenclosures, immediately unplug thepower wire and send the amplifier toyour local dealer or service center assoon as possible .

7. Insert fuse(s) into the battery fuseholder(s).

8. Recheck all connections beforepowering up the amplifier.

9. Set all level controls to minimumposition, and set all crossovercontrols/switches to the desiredfrequency points.

10. Power up the head unit and theamplifier. Then set the volume controlon the head unit to about 3/4 volume,and adjust the amplifiers input levelcontrol(s) to just below the level ofdistortion.

11. Further fine tuning of the variouscontrols may be necessary to obtain bestresults.

Your CHAOS EXXTREME amplifierhas been designed to operateefficiently at loads down to 2 Ohms.This means that you can install four8 Ohm speakers per channel, whenusing parallel wiring.

Increasing the number of woofers perchannel at low frequencies (below100Hz) produces an acoustic couplingeffect. This acoustic coupling effectincreases your power output by about3dB per speaker, or the equivalent ofan additional 10W per speaker.

When operating at 2 Ohms, theamplifiers will increase their outputpower by approximately 50%. Thecurrent draw will also increase byabout the same amount, so be sureyou have enough current to run theamplifiers into a 2 Ohm load.

If you lack adequate current, yourmusic reproduction will be distorted.

Low-level (RCA) input wiring is preferred for best audio performance. Always usea high-quality RCA cable for best audio performance.

Introduction

With the CHAOS EXXTREMEMOSFET amplifier series, we areintroducing eleven new amplifiers, alldesigned in the USA. This new seriesincludes a two monoblock amps, six2-channel, four 4-channel amplifiersand a 5-channel amp.

All CHAOS EXXTREME models featurevariable low pass and high passcrossovers and variable input gaincontrols. They also incorporate an inputvoltage sensistivity selector for addedsystem flexibility.

For further flexibility in the use of asubwoofer, 0-+18dB Bass Boostcontrol has been included on allamplifiers. You can control thesubwoofer level with the remote levelcontrol module.

understands that amplifiers areplaced in many different kinds ofinstallations, so we incorporated a veryflexible system of controls in theseamplifiers in order to help you integratethe amp into your system regardlessof the nature of your input source.

SHOCK HAZARD! Do not open the caseof this product. There are dangerousvoltages present within the unit. There areno user-serviceable parts within the unit.

Before making or breaking powerconnections in your system,disconnect the vehicle battery. Confirmthat your head unit or other equipmentis turned off while connecting the inputjacks and speaker terminals.

If you need to replace the power fuse,replace it only with a fuse identical tothat supplied with the amplifier. Usinga fuse of a different type or rating mayresult in damage to your audio systemor your amplifier which is not coveredby the manufacturer's warranty.






Installation precautions

Before you drill or cut any holes,investigate your car's layout verycarefully. Take special care when youwork near the gas tank, fuel lines,hydraulic lines and electrical wiring.

Never operate the amplifier when it isunmounted. Attach all audio systemcomponents securely to preventdamage, especially in an accident.

Mounting the amplifier

1. Find a suitable location in the vehiclein which to mount the amplifier.

2. Make sure there is sufficient aircirculation around the intendedmounting location.

3. Mark the location for the mountinghole screws by positioning the amplifierwhere you wish to install it. Use ascribe or mounting screw, insertedthrough each of the amp's mountingholes, to mark the mounting surface.If the mounting surface is carpeted,measure the hole centers and markwith a felt tip pen.

4. Drill pilot holes in the mountingsurface for the mounting screws. Placethe amplifier in position, and attachthe amplifier to the mounting surfacesecurely using screws.

Before doing any wiring, look throughthis manual and identify the diagramsto follow for power, input and speakerconnections for your particularinstallation. Be sure you understandall the connections before you proceed.

1. Connect the power ground terminalto the closest point on the chassis ofthe car. Keep this ground wire to lessthan 39" (100 cm) in length. Use 8gauge (or heavier) wire.

2. Connect the remote terminal to theremote output of the head unit using16 gauge (or heavier) wire.

3. Connect an empty fuse holder within18" (45 cm) of the car battery, and run8 gauge (or heavier) cable from thisfuse to the amplifier location.

4. Check that the fuse holder is empty.Then connect the fuse holder to the"BATT+" connection on the amplifier.

5. If multiple amplifiers are being usedin your system, either:

Run a separate pair of cables fromthe battery and a chassis ground pointto each amplifier. Each (+) cable musthave its own inline fuse.

-or- Run a #4 cable from the fuse holderat the battery to a distribution blockat or near the amplifier's location. Thenrun separate cables from the amplifierto this distribution block and toindependent chassis ground points.

6. Connect all line inputs and outputs(if used) using high-quality cables.Connect all speakers, following thediagrams in this manual. Be sure toobserve proper polarity to avoid audiophase problems.

Do not mistake the input level controlfor a volume control! It is designedONLY to match the output level ofyour audio source to the input levelof your amplifier.

Do not adjust this input level tomaximum unless your input levelrequires it.

Ignoring these instructions will resultin an input overload to the amplifier,and excessive audio distortion. Itcan also cause the protection circuitto engage.

Don't misuse thelevel control!
