AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Input Level These amplifiers have level adjustments to allow for easy integration with any source unit. The input sensitivity can be adjusted from approximately 200mV to 5V. Refer to Testing the System and Adjusting the Sound of the System sections of this guide for detailed instructions on setting the gain. Internal Crossover Configurations The crossover section of these amplifiers is continuously variable and extremely flexible.
AMPLIFIER WIRING Power Connections for the WCC-amplifiers ● WCC- Fuse Size: refer to specifications ● Power connections accept up to 8 AWG wire. ● 8 AWG power and ground wire recommended for optimal performance. ● Connect 12V+ to the battery through fuse holder. This connection provides +12V main power to the amplifier. ● Power wire must be fused no more than 18" from battery. ● Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier.

5001, 8001 Mono Speaker Connections The WCC-5001, and WCC-8001 amplifiers offer two positive and two negative output terminals for ease of connecting the speakers to the amplifier. Since these are mono amplifiers, the speaker connectors are paralleled internally. Each amplifier is stable to 2W. SPEAKER 4 Ohm (-) (-) (+) (+) FUSE FUSE +12V REM GND SPEAKER 4 Ohm NOTE!

a dangerous projectile in the event of a crash. Never mount the amplifier where it might get wet. Mount the amplifier so the wire connections will not be pulled. Route the wires where they will not be scraped, pinched or damaged in any fashion. The +12V power supply wire must be fused as close as possible to the battery terminal, ideally within 18". Use the recommended fuse size or circuit breaker listed in the Power Connections section of this manual.
Step By Step Installation Step 1 Determine the location for the amplifier. Refer to the Choosing Mounting Locations section of this guide for detailed information. Step 2 Decide on the system configuration for your amplifier. For system suggestions, refer to the Speaker Connections section of this guide. Step 3 Run all the wires from the amplifier location to the speakers, source unit, and battery. Do not connect the battery at this time.
Step 5 If using an aftermarket source unit, turn the level controls of the amplifier about one quarter of a turn. Slowly increase the volume level of the source unit to so that you can hear the output of the system. If no sound is heard or if the output is distorted, turn the system off immediately. Refer to the Power Connections and the Troubleshooting Tips sections of this manual to solve your installation problems. Step 6 Check to make sure the output for each channel is correct.
Troubleshooting Tips Symptom Probable Cause Action To Take Low or no remote turn-on Check remote turn-on voltage at voltage amplifier and repair as needed. Fuse blown Check power wire's integrity and check for speaker shorts. Fix as needed and replace fuse. No output Power wires not connected Check power wire and ground connections and repair or replace as needed. Audio input not connected Check RCA connections and repair or replace as needed.
Symptom Probable Cause Action To Take Internal crossover not set properly for speakers Readjust crossovers. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this guide for detailed instructions. Speakers are blown Check system with known work ing speakers and fix or replace as needed. Distorted output Poor bass response Speakers wired with wrong Check speaker polarity and fix polarity causing cancellation as needed. at low frequencies Crossover set incorrectly Reset crossovers.
