Important installation considerations for using this amplifier.

Your CHAOS EXXTREME Class D amplifier is designed to run with a minimum load of 1 Ohm.

Operating the CX2500D or CX3500D with a speaker im- pedance load below 1 Ohm may result in poor sound qual- ity and damage to the amplifier circuitry. Such damage is not covered under the warranty for this product.

The fuse ratings for these amps is 40A (using two 20A fuses) for the CX2500D and 90A (using three 30A fuses) for the CX3500D. Although sufficient for normal working conditions, overloading the amp may result in blown fuses. Please try to avoid overloading the amp in this manner.

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.

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.

Wire the amplifier directly to the car battery. 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. In some cases, this may be the power antenna lead of the 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.

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.

This model features a low-pass filter, allowing users to control the frequency response and tailor the audio output to match their specific subwoofer setup. Additionally, the CX2500D includes an adjustable bass boost, which allows for enhancing the low frequency output to add punch to music genres heavily reliant on bass.

On the other hand, the CX3500D takes performance up a notch with a peak power output of 3500 watts and an RMS power of 1800 watts at 1 ohm. This additional power makes it suitable for larger subwoofer systems or for those who desire even more thump in their audio experience. Both the CX2500D and CX3500D feature a super low-frequency response, ensuring that even the deepest bass notes are reproduced with clarity.

Boss Audio's unique technology also comes into play with their proprietary Mosfet power supply, which enhances efficiency while maintaining high performance. The built-in protection circuitry safeguards the amplifier against issues such as overheating, overload, and short circuits, ensuring long-term reliability while providing peace of mind to users.

Installation has been made easier with the inclusion of a variable input gain control, allowing for seamless integration into existing audio setups. These amplifiers are also designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic, featuring a durable chassis that can withstand the rigors of automotive environments.

Overall, the Boss Audio Systems CX2500D and CX3500D amplifiers are excellent choices for car audio enthusiasts. They not only boast impressive specifications but also incorporate advanced technologies that enhance audio quality and reliability. Whether you are building a new system or upgrading an existing one, these amplifiers provide the power and performance needed to deliver an unmatched listening experience.
