User manual BOSS CHAOS REV-800

[. . . ] 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. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. [. . . ] Use a scribe or mounting screw, inserted through each of the amp's mounting holes, to mark the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen. Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws. Place the amplifier in position, and attach the amplifier to the mounting surface securely using screws. 4. Then connect the fuse holder to the "BATT+" connection on the amplifier. 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 #0 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. Connect all line inputs and outputs (if used) using high-quality cables. Connect all speakers, following the diagrams in this manual. · 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. It can also cause the protection circuit to engage. SHOCK HAZARD!There are dangerous voltages present within the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit.

[. . . ] If it is lit, shut off the amplifier briefly, and then repower it. 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. [. . . ]
