noone has spade connectors

[conor_thompson 10+ year member]

So amp only has about 4g outputs on it and i have 0g wiring, and no shop around me seems to have 1/0g spade connectors? Just seems weird to me. is there another method of getting this big *** wire in this small hole?

trim it down or use wire reducers

My area didn't even have 4 ga spade connectors

Pshh, I couldn't even find spades for my 8ga wire. I had to squeeze it into 10ga ones.

I didn't even know they made spades anywhere near that big. Can't imagine why you'd be using it either. Just trim the wire down, or buy some proper reducers.

I don't think I've even seen a spade that big before. If your amp uses a set screw just trim the wire back and put it in. If it's a older style screw with a plate, you'll have to trim it back until you can find fit a spade connector that fits you amp on the end of the wire. It wont' do anything to your current flow as a short section of wire can carry much more current than a longer one given the same size. Being that you'll be dealing with a 1inch thinner piece, the current capacity wont' be any lower through that part.

I've personally never seen a 0 gauge spade terminal

I too have not seen 0 awg terminals either... But Id get the next closest thing and trim down to fit, crimp and fit into the screw mounts on amp.
