They also have on eBay 0 gauge to 4 gauge adapters, which would be a great choice if you just gotta supply power to that one amp, if not then go with the distribution block.

I dont like those cuz when you screw the terminal down it bites into the wire and with those I think they would eventually slide out sense you are just putting pressure on it with the screw in the terminal... If that makes sense? lol

Had them made. They are extremely nice and extremely not cheap.

yeah i know what u mean.. will i loose anything by having the 4ga wire split off the 0ga ? i dont understand the point of the 0ga if im connectin with 4ga still u know?

Well wire typically measure its maximum amp loads at 20 feet... so a foot long run or whatever of 4 gauge will hold a lot of current its the long run all the way from that front batt that needs 1/0 so that you dont have as much resistance in that long distance... make sense?
