[. . . ] Warranty LIMITED TWO YEAR CONSUMER WARRANTY: Directed Electronics, Inc. promises to the original purchaser, to replace this product should it prove to be defective in workmanship or material under normal use, for a period of two years from the date of purchase from the dealer as indicated by the date code marking of the product PROVIDED the product was installed by an authorized Directed dealer. During this two-year period, there will be no charge for this replacement PROVIDED the unit is returned to Directed, shipping pre-paid. If the unit is installed by anyone other than an authorized Directed dealer, the warranty period will be one year from the date of purchase by the dealer as indicated by the date code marking of the product. [. . . ] The RGC-1 can be used as a bass level control when used on an amplifier dedicated to subwoofers. Plug the RGC-1 into the first amp that must have its RCA output selection switch in the MASTER position. The RGC-1 information will now be sent to subsequent amps via the MASTER signal. Note: The RGC-1 is not supplied with the amplifier (order Orion p/n 58000). AMPLIFIER WIRING Power Connections for the WCC-D2400 WCC-D2400 Fuse Size: 3 x 40 AMP ATC Power connections accept up to 4 AWG wire. Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier. Add extra ground wire between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis. Power Connections for the WCC-D5000 Power connections accept up to 4 AWG wire. Connect 12V+ to the battery through power distribution and fuse holder. Terminate both grounds of the amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier. Add an extra ground wire between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis. The addition of a ground wire from the battery to the chassis of the vehicle improves the ability of the battery to supply power to the amplifier. This is recommended because the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto manufacturer. Both pairs of connections must use 4 AWG power wire for proper operation. Failure to do this may damage the amplifier and is not covered under warranty. The WCC-D5000 cannot be operated in a bridge or strapped configuration, attempting to do so will damage the amplifier. ©2004 Directed Electronics, Inc. NOTE: WARNING! 12 Speaker Connections The WCC-D2400, and WCC-D5000 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 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. This will route the signal through RCA to the other (slave) amplifier. To set the PHASE switch on the (slave) amp, move the phase switch from 0 to 180, exactly opposite of the master amp. For the speaker connections, connect the positive (+) speaker lead from the speaker to the positive (+) speaker terminal of the master amplifier. On the negative (-) speaker connection, take the negative (-) speaker terminal of the master amplifier and connect it directly to the negative (-) speaker terminal of the (slave) amplifier. The remaining positive (+) speaker terminal of the (slave) amplifier must be connected to the negative (-) speaker lead from the speaker. NOTE: For best results, connect both negative speaker terminals on the master amp to both negative terminals on the slave amp using at least 12 AWG cable. [. . . ] Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instructions. Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum front/rear balance. Turn up the level control corresponding to the woofer output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output. [. . . ]
