Right now I'm running 4g cable from battery to my amp. I'm getting ready to do the big 3 with 1/0 cable, but my amp terminals are only 4/0.. is

there some sort of adapter that I can use to be able to run the 1/0 into this amp? I need about 4 of these.. 2 for in line fuse (only 4/0 as well),

1 for 12v on amp, and 1 for ground from amp. I'm getting rid of my cap after this upgrade so no need for adapters on it.

holy cow your amp accepts 4/0!! wow beefy!! or do you mean 4guage? lol!

I was gonna say, whoa. I think he means 4ga.

4/0 is bigger than 0ga by far. Wording is important :lol:

If Im reading this right then it makes no sense at all to me. Do you mean 4 gauge or 4/0awg big difference? Your amps terminals have nothing to do with the Big Three wiring. You dont need 1/0awg on that amp, 4 gauge will do fine. I would suggest you get 1 reducer and run 1/0 awg from battery to distrribution block then 4 gauge from the d. block to amps terminals if you insist on using 1/0 awg. There wont be that big of a difference though, if you plan on upgrading your system in the future then I can see the point upgrading your amp's wires.

I do plan on upgrading soon, I'm just getting all of the electrical out of the way before I go any further on that.. So I needed the adapter so I can still use what I have until that happens

P.S. Got the bat terminals and adapters at my local shop tis afternoon

Ok I got you, yeah your going the good route making sure you electrical is up to par before anything else.
