[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 2765188, member: 540940"] at the reduced length from d-block to amp - the smaller wire after the d-block can provde more current than a normal run from the battery to the amp. It's less than ideal, but it should work ok. another option, better than just using 8 ga, would be to use the 4 ga, but trim off some of the outer strands of the wire so it will fit in the smaller terminals. Yes, you're reducing the cross-sect. area, but again, the length is so small it will have little to no effect on the 4 ga. [/QUOTE]
