[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3138018, member: 570956"] I live in Lincoln Nebraska which isn't exactly a big car audio town. I've checked a couple local shops for 4 gauge butt splices with no luck, there is only one other stereo shop in town to my knowledge. I'll try lowes/home depot as well. Here's another question. I want to basically make my own distribution block of sorts. I basically want a stip of metal to drill a bunch of holes into to connect wires with. What would be the best material for this? I was thinking probably aluminum. I have two runs of 4 gauge going to two amps and a car pc, grounds and remote wires for all. LEDs will be added in the future. I basically want to make it so that I just have two big metal strips, one for grounds and one for power. I'm fine with leaving the remote wires just crimped together since they are simple. Two 4 AWG would go into the power block, split to whatever is needed, and then all of the grounds would connect to another block which would have two 4 AWG terminals connected directly to the vehicle chassis. That's a lot of explanation, but basically all I'm wanting to know is what is the best material for this? [/QUOTE]
