[QUOTE="ConKBot, post: 5472243, member: 603119"] I'm going to be upgrading my stereo in my car to include a 4 channel amp and a monoblock for my sub, currently it is just the monoblock. I have ~5 feet of 4 AWG, fused near the battery, feeding a distribution block, where I have a short (~8 inch) lenth of 8 AWG feeding the amp. The main issue is even with 8AWG spade terminals that I had, they still didnt fit under the amp's screw terminal easliy. Someone at one time told me of terminals for 4 AWG which have a small spade or ring for going into amp terminals, but I havent been successful in finding one. Has anyone seen such a thing? I have access to big bolt cutter style terminal crimpers at work that work down to 4 AWG so that is not an issue. I'd rather avoid 8AWG crimp terminals since it seems to be a pain in the *** to find 8 AWG cripers. The amps I have is an alpine MRP-M500, currently I only use 300W into 4 ohms, but in the future I'm hoping to up it to use the full 500. I plan on adding an MRP F600 100Wx4 amp but that takes 4 AWG directly [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] So to sum it all up: Going from 4 AWG to the small *** screw on MRP M500 for power, best ways? EDIT: Shit, of course the second I ask about it I find what I'm looking for on my own...
