Connecting the amplifier Before doing any wiring, look through this manual and identify the diagrams to follow for power, input and speaker connections for your particular installation. Be sure you understand all the connections before you proceed. 1. Connect the power ground terminal to the closest point on the chassis of the car. Keep this ground wire to less than 39" (100 cm) in length. Use 8 gauge (or heavier) wire. 2. Connect the remote terminal to the remote output of the head unit using 16 gauge (or heavier) wire. 3. Connect an empty fuse holder within 18" (45 cm) of the car battery, and run 8 gauge (or heavier) cable from this fuse 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 used in your system, either: • Run a separate pair of cables from the battery and a chassis ground point to each amplifier. Each (+) cable must have its own inline fuse. -or• Run a #4 cable from the fuse holder at the battery to a distribution block at or near the amplifier's location. Then run separate cables from the amplifier to this distribution block and to independent chassis ground points. 6. Connect all line inputs and outputs (if used) using high-quality cables. Connect all speakers, following the diagrams in this manual. Be sure to observe proper polarity to avoid audio phase problems. CHAOS ERUPT MOSFET Amplifier User's Manual-page 5 7. Insert fuse(s) into the battery fuse holder(s). 8. Recheck all connections before powering up the amplifier. 9. Set all level controls to minimum position, and set all crossover controls/switches to the desired frequency points. 10. Power up the head unit and the amplifier. Then set the volume control on the head unit to about 3/4 volume, and adjust the amplifier's input level control(s) to just below the level of distortion. 11. Further fine tuning of the various controls may be necessary to obtain best results. 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. It can also cause the protection circuit to engage.

Connecting
the
amplifier
Before
doing
any
wiring,
look
through
this
manual
and
identify
the
diagrams
to
follow
for
power,
input
and
speaker
connections
for
your
particular
installation.
Be
sure
you
understand
all
the
connections
before
you
proceed.
1.
Connect
the
power
ground
terminal
to
the
closest
point
on
the
chassis
of
the
car.
Keep
this
ground
wire
to
less
than
39"
(100
cm)
in
length.
Use
8
gauge
(or
heavier)
wire.
2.
Connect
the
remote
terminal
to
the
remote
output
of
the
head
unit
using
16
gauge
(or
heavier)
wire.
3.
Connect
an
empty
fuse
holder
within
18"
(45
cm)
of
the
car
battery,
and
run
8
gauge
(or
heavier)
cable
from
this
fuse
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
used
in
your
system,
either:
Run
a
separate
pair
of
cables
from
the
battery
and
a
chassis
ground
point
to
each
amplifier.
Each
(+)
cable
must
have
its
own
inline
fuse.
-or-
Run
a
#4
cable
from
the
fuse
holder
at
the
battery
to
a
distribution
block
at
or
near
the
amplifier's
location.
Then
run
separate
cables
from
the
amplifier
to
this
distribution
block
and
to
independent
chassis
ground
points.
6.
Connect
all
line
inputs
and
outputs
(if
used)
using
high
-quality
cables.
Connect
all
speakers,
following
the
diagrams
in
this
manual.
Be
sure
to
observe
proper
polarity
to
avoid
audio
phase
problems.
7.
Insert
fuse(s)
into
the
battery
fuse
holder(s).
8.
Recheck
all
connections
before
powering
up
the
amplifier.
9.
Set
all
level
controls
to
minimum
position,
and
set
all
crossover
controls/switches
to
the
desired
frequency
points.
10.
Power
up
the
head
unit
and
the
amplifier.
Then
set
the
volume
control
on
the
head
unit
to
about
3/4
volume,
and
adjust
the
amplifier's
input
level
control(s)
to
just
below
the
level
of
distortion.
11.
Further
fine
tuning
of
the
various
controls
may
be
necessary
to
