Topic: 1/0 gauge in a 4 gauge input
so what are some techniques that you all use to fit 1/0 gauge wire in a 4 gauge input? right now i have 1/0 running to my back battery and 4 gauge from there to the amp, but if i do away with the back battery i wanna use 1/0, when the amp only fits 4 gauge. any recommendations?http://www.sounddomain.com/ride/2277525

Solder the end of the wire, then grind it down with an angle grinder.

I would trim the end down and solder it if done correctly it will look and function well instead of having to spend $11 to do the same thing.
