INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of a West Coast Customs by Orion power amplifier. Each WCC amplifier is designed to be the leader in its class offering the most power, advanced features, and extreme ease of use. In high-end sound systems or high SPL systems, WCC amplifiers will give you years of trouble-free performance.
WCC-6002 - 600 Watt two-channel Class AB amplifier with built-in fully variable high-pass, low-pass, or band-pass crossover. The WCC-6002 is capable of one-channel bridged operation with a maximum power of 600 Watts into 2W. WCC-6004 - 600 Watt four-channel Class AB amplifier with built-in fully variable high-pass, low-pass, or band-pass crossover. The WCC-6004 is capable of two-channel bridged operation with a maximum power of 600 Watts into 2W. WCC-5001 - 500 Watt mono Class AB amplifier with built-in fully variable highpass, low-pass, or band-pass crossover. The WCC-5001 is capable of one-channel operation with a maximum power of 500 Watts into 2W. WCC-8001 - 800 Watt mono Class AB amplifier. The WCC-8001 is capable of onechannel operation with a maximum power of 800 Watts into 2W.
The installation of all WCC components will determine the overall performance result. Improper installation will not only limit the performance of your WCC system but also potentially compromise the reliability of this amplifier. To ensure proper sonic results and component reliability, please refer to your authorized dealer for installation assistance or advice. If you decide to perform the installation yourself, be sure to read the entire manual before beginning the installation.

PRACTICE SAFE SOUNDTM
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent hearing loss. High power automotive sound systems can generate sound pressure levels in excess of 130dB. When playing your system at high levels, please use hearing protection and avoid long term exposure.

PWR (LED blue) - when illuminated indicates that the amplifier is on. HI Input (high level input) - Accepts 1v to 10v input from the headunit's speaker output. The amplifier will automatically wake-up when the input is greater than 1V. RCA Inputs - accepts RCA input from a source unit, preamplifier, or equalizer. Level Control - continuously adjusts from 150mV to 5V for full power output. Crossover Switch - activates low pass crossover, full (all pass), or high pass crossover. Low-Pass Frequency Control - adjusts the frequency (50HzÂ500Hz) of the lowpass crossover. High-Pass Frequency Control - adjusts the frequency (50HzÂ500Hz) of the highpass crossover. Bass - sets the bass boost of the high-pass crossover to 0, 5 or 12dB of boost. PRT (LED red) - illuminates when the PRT (Protection) function is active. Activates to protect the amplifier when the temperature is too high, the output has a DC offset, a short was detected on the output, or the amplifier power cables have been improperly connected (reverse power). If the temperature, DC offset, or short condition has cleared after approximately 10-seconds the amplifier will automatically recover.

10. Speaker Connections - accepts two speakers or a bridge connection. 11. 2 ATC Fuses (25 amp) - protects the amplifier from over current situations. 12. Power Connections - accepts up to 8 AWG power and ground cables, and also has a REM amplifier turn-on terminal (turns on the amplifier when fed +12 V).
