Introduction
With the 
CHAOS WIRED amplifier series, we are introducing introducing two new models, both designed in the USA. This new series includes a 2-channel and a 4-channel amplifier.
These CHAOS WIRED models feature a low pass crossover (one for each channel on the CW350), and both high level and RCA low level inputs on the front panel. Input level can be precisely controlled by variable input gain controls.
These features help you integrate the amp into your system regardless of the nature of your input source.
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 player.
• CHAOS WIRED amplifier
• High input cable with connector
• Four (4) mounting screws

Features
Your new CHAOS WIRED amplifier features the following:
•2 Ohm stable stereo operation with output power increase
•Thermal and speaker short protection
•Soft turn-on circuit
•Remote turn-on/turn-off circuit
•Variable input gain control
•Nickel-plated RCA low level and high level inputs
•LED power and protection indicators
•Black anodized aluminum heatsink
About 2 Ohm operation
Your CHAOS WIRED amplifier has been designed to operate efficiently at loads down to 2 Ohms. This means that you can install four 8 Ohm speakers per channel, when using parallel wiring.
Increasing the number of woofers per channel at low frequencies (below 100Hz) produces an acoustic coupling effect. This acoustic coupling effect increases your power output by about 3dB per speaker, or the equivalent of an additional 10W per speaker.
When operating at 2 Ohms, the amplifiers will increase their output power by approximately 50%. The current draw will also increase by about the same amount, so be sure you have enough current to run the amplifiers into a 2 Ohm load.
If you lack adequate current, your music reproduction will be distorted.

•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.
•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.
Never operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components securely to prevent damage, especially in an accident.
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.
SHOCK HAZARD! Do not open the case of this product. There are dangerous voltages present within the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit.
