Gay non-bending 1/0 help.

[angrytrucker78 10+ year member]

So I'm trying to mount my amps somewhere other than just sitting where my back seat is supposed to be and I'm having a hard time because everywhere that seems like a good idea isn't because the 1/0 to go to the sub amp won't take such a sharp corner.

My question is, does anyone make something like a 90 degree elbow with an inlet and set screw for the wire, and then a prong or something to go into the amp? That would make life so much easier for me right now.

Why not pull all the slack to the amp first, then screw it in, and then pull the slack back. Or a hair dryer.

or use a distrobution block... the one that comes to mind is the Stinger T-block

The hairdryer may work.

Distribution block will do nothing. Where the + and - leads come out of the sub amp, there's something right there and it has to make a 90 turn right then and there.

Or I can try getting some of that Kicker Hyperflex. I've never worked with it, but here it's very flexible. But at 5.xx per foot, it's not something I really just wanna take a chance with.

The only thing that comes to mind is getting some 1/0ga reducers and then bending the ends.

The kicker wire is pretty flexible, rockford fosgate has the same wire as well as audison but audisons is even more flexible.

I thought about that too. But I wonder how far they'll bend before they break?

ok

Why not just get the 0 as far as you can, distro bock it, and run a smaller more flexible wire a few inches to the amp.

Crossed my mind as well. All I was really seeing is if there was an elbow piece that I wasn't aware of to make it easier.

o.k, i got it

get some copper 90deg elbows, 3/4" will prob work, strip off all the jacketing and shove the wire through that, then get some heat shrink tubing and cover the elbows with it.

That should solve the problem, i think

That's a good idea. Maybe I'll take a trip to Home Depot tomarrow and pick a few up to see what I can do.

Thanks

No problem.

Was a total random thought that worked in my head.

Plus, those fittings are crazy cheap, under $2
