Also I will be giving 2 sets of these to Jacob for spl testing and what not! take a look let me know what you like and most importantly dislike and how i can improve the design.

Making them from one piece means a lot of machining. Drill/ream a hole, and press the appropriate sized dowel in instead. Would be much faster, and less material wasted.

A more compact version would simply have a bolt/stud mounted to it that multiple wires could be fastened to using terminals.

If you want to get really fancy, buy a can of that plasti-kote dip that's meant to rubberize tool handles. This would make them less prone to shorting out due to accidental contact with something they shouldn't touch.

thanks man i will keep this in mind for the next set i make up!

the only issue i may have with the dowel is machining the flat on it

and thanks again and i love the idea of rubbing them!!

Machining a flat onto the dowel should be a piece of cake. Even using manually operated equipment.

I would like 4 of those. For my crossfire vr4000D. I would just need only one input on each tho. 1/0 Inputs for Knu wire. I think this amp has like 2 gauge inputs.
