  • Page 9: Amplifier Settings

    AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Signal Input and Output Configurations The input section of the amplifier consists of a phase switch that sets the output configura- tion, gain controls, and RCA inputs. The input section makes it easy to adapt this amplifier to most system configurations. Input Gain The WCC-D2400 and WCC-D5000 amplifiers have level adjustments to allow for easy inte- gration with any source unit.
  • Page 10: Low-Pass Crossover

    When using WCC loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recommended frequency ranges can provide superior results depending on your speaker locations and your vehicle acoustics. Setting crossover frequencies higher than recommended will not cause damage and may provide superior sonic results depending on your system's performance goals. Refer to your loudspeaker owner's manual for assistance in choosing the proper crossover frequencies for your system.

  • Page 12: Sealed Example High-Pass Set At 20Hz

    Sealed Example High-Pass Set at 20Hz This sealed example is the same 12-inch woofer in the recommended sealed enclosure. Up to 6 dB of boost is capable if 20 Hz was used. With +6dB of boost, the woofer has more out- put down to 15 Hz.
  • Page 13: Remote Gain Operation

    Remote Gain Operation The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain structure of the power amplifier. The RGC-1 plugs into the amplifier via the 1/8" mini jack plug. The RGC-1 can be installed in the front of the vehicle to control the amplifier gain level. The RGC-1 can be used as a bass level control when used on an amplifier dedicated to subwoofers.
  • Page 14: Speaker Connections

    Speaker Connections The WCC-D2400, and WCC-D5000 amplifiers offer two positive and two negative output termi- nals 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 1W. Bridging For bridging into a single speaker load, the WCC-D2400 has the ability to be bridged with another amplifier of the same model.
  • Page 15: Amplifier Installation

    AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION Choosing Mounting Locations The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low pro- file size of the WCC amplifiers, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance. Always mount the amplifier in a place that protects the amplifier from the elements.
  • Page 16: Tools Of The Trade

    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.
  • Page 17: Set Up And Troubleshooting

    amplifier is twisted or bent. Step 6 Turn the vehicle's key switch to the off position. Step 7 Disconnect the vehicle's battery ground terminal. Step 8 Connect power wires to the amplifier (ground first, then 12 V(+) and REM). Step 9 Connect the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier.
  • Page 18: Adjusting The Sound Of The System

    Adjusting the Sound of the System Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system. Adjusting the sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal crossovers. Step 1 Turn the signal source volume control all the way down. Set any tone con- trols to their flat or defeated positions.
