would that still work? would i loose any more ability to move power than i would if i buy a reducer type thing? cause the power travels on the surface fo the wire.....dont wanna cut wire....but do you think itll make a differance either way??

if you're hooking it up to the amp, i'd use a reducer, just to prevent the clipped parts of the wire, that aren't in the terminal, from shorting to the case of the amp, or the opposite terminal

if it's for a battery terminal, or a distro block, it wouldn't much matter, since the entire casing of the distro block is usually charged

what you are needing, a single reducer to take two 0 gauges down to one 0 gauge, i dont think it exists. i want it too, but i havent been able to find one.

you'll gain more impedence with anything between the wire and the terimal, thats why i don't solder my ends on, with that said, just trim off half the strands on each wire

Why do amp manufacturers put small terminals when people are supposed to use a large gauge wire? ex. Memphis Belle. Supposed to make 1550w and has terminals that only fit 4awg wire.
