Distribution block for a 12 gauge wire?

[JohnPD]

Is there such a thing that has 8 and 12 gauge outputs? My Mosconi Pico 2 only takes a 12 gauge power wire for the largest size, that I’m aware of anyway, and my other amp has an 8 gauge power wire. If not I guess I have to run both individually to the battery.

They do make a 12ga Distribution block and have for over 25 years. You can find one on Ebay. other than that.. You can use an 8g block and take the 12ga and cut long enough to bend over for a double wire and use a 10ga ferrule to fit in the 8ga block

I used one of these off Amazon to wire up a hot Water heater in a travel trailer with a breaker at the battery. Worked great.

You could just run both wires into one 6 or 4 AWG splicing reducer.

Home Depot has various sizes.

Its a nice starter kit. These make a great connection and keep fraying wires from being exposed. I like to place heat shrink over them also. Maybe Im OCD? Im sure there are cheaper ones to be sought after. This one crimps pretty decent and Ive done over a 2000 with it

What do you mean by a 10 gauge ferrule?
