[QUOTE="EFFENDI, post: 503900, member: 555674"] for a very short run of wire the 4 awg will be just fine. dont worry about ot getting all the power loss you think you are going to get. the only time you need to start worrying is over long distances over 10 feet. as long as you have 1/0 gauge for the bulk of the distance (the batt to trunk area) then you will be straight. the distro block is a great thing since you dont have to worry about splicing and crimping, heatshrinking and all that garbage, just get a distro block, trust me you will be thanking us all later for persuading you. nothing wrong with stepping down, i know it wont look as pretty, your other option is to get a ring/spade terminal and screw it in the power input of the amp. Anything solid copper with brass or silver or gold plating on it will be just fine as a terminal, just look for something that will fit your amp's power input terminal. try: [URL="http://www.knukonceptz.com"]http://www.knukonceptz.com[/URL] [URL="http://www.audiopipe.com"]http://www.audiopipe.com[/URL] [URL="http://www.ebay.com"]http://www.ebay.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
