Specifications

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, ide-

ally within 18". Use the recommended fuse size or circuit breaker listed in the Power

Connections section of this manual.

If you need to replace the fuse plugged into the side of the amplifier, replace the fuse with

the same size ATC type fuse that came with the amplifier. If you are not sure as to the correct

value, refer to the Power Connections section of this manual for details. Using a higher cur-

rent fuse may result in damage to the amplifier that is not covered under warranty.

NOTE! Make sure all the equipment in the system is turned off when making or

breaking connections to the input RCAs or speaker terminals. Turn on the sys-

tem and slowly turn up the volume control only after double checking all

wire connections.

Power for systems with a single amplifier can be supplied by most automotive electrical sys-

tems. Systems with multiple amplifiers may require a higher capacity battery, alternator or

the use of a storage capacitor. We strongly recommend the use of a Directed Audio

Essentials power capacitor with an extra battery in larger stereo systems.

WCC amplifiers generate a certain amount of heat as part of normal operation. Be sure the

area around the amplifier is unobstructed to allow adequate air circulation. Remember,

beach blankets, last week's laundry, school books and homework papers located on top of

the amplifier do not improve air flow and may become damaged.
