u can order a cheap 4 to 8 distro online for under 10 bucks shipped prly, or get a 4ga spade

I would just trim off a few strands of wire at the amp. Current capacity is effected by both diameter and length. Between the two you'd hardly be effecting it at all.

Get a distribution block. One that accepts in 4 gauge wire, and goes 8 gauge out. That'll work for you.

this would be plenty

I like this idea, thanks.

It should be perfectly fine too, just cut it nice and cleanly. You don't want any loose strands hanging out of the terminal that could possibly short out.

And 6ga is plenty for 550 watts, especially with a class D amp.
