will that allow me to plug right into the 4guage input on the amp?

also is there any point in using a 0 guage ground if it wont fit?

don't buy that. i have one and the ****ing thing doesn't fit into any 4 gauge amp i have ever owned. the piece that slides in is too big. stinger really made a shitty product. don't buy it

yes that will do what you want, and yes 0 gauge ground is good

what do you suggest?

should i run a nonfused 0 to 4 distribution block?

should i run a fused 0 to 4 distribution block?

should i trim the wire down and put it in?

ground also

you want your ground the same size. just trim some strands off and hook it to the amp

ehh, I wouldn't trim if you want aesthetics, it usually looks like *** :-/, running 8 inches of 4 gauge from a 0 to 4 distro block isn't gonna matter much

ok thanks..... what about the power... what have you used in the past or currently

 

[mustbenu 10+ year member]

what do you mean it isnt gunna matter much? matter about what?

 

[GemaRastem 10+ year member]

as in if you were worried that going from 0 gauge to 4 gauge was going to affect anything...it's not going to. In the past I've cut strands off, and electrical taped the shit out of it, didn't liek the look, now I have a distro block from 0 gauge to 4 gauge, and same for the ground cause I have 2 amps, and have ground going to straight from battery in front.
