    Shave the wire, and buy a battery. Your amp is only rated 2500rms correct? You need power to make power. If you are running stock electrical on 2500 watts, you might as well use 6 gauge. Seriously, shaving the wire, and you notice no difference with that amplfier.

    so is it best to shave the wite down so it'll fit? or just use two dist. blocks for power and ground? 1/0awg in and 4awg out of the blocks to the amp?

    I can understand the whole being on a budget and working with what you got concept. Do you have at least a secondary battery? In all honesty, it doesn't matter what size wire you use unless you have the power to pump through it. Makes sense eh? Anyways, no, it would not defeat the purpose of using 1/0. Think of it this way, it is that much less resistance between the battery source and the amplifier. Worst case, trim down the strands until it just fits snug. Save up for a new amplifier, find a kid in your neighborhood and pawn the amp you are running now to him for $50.00 over retail. Problem solved.

    thanks man will do i'd appreciate ya takin the time out to give me sum info ill trimm the wire down a lil and yea sell the amp lol

    I may have read wrong and am a tard, but why would you need to trim the wire down or use a 4 awg reducers if the amp accepts 1/0?

    I would think that 4 awg would be to small to run it, especially since they made it to accept 1/0.

    my fault man my title was wrong i just changed it. vice versa it accepts 4awg only and i got an 1/0awg amp kit just wwanted to know whats the best way to hook it up use blocks or trimm down the wire?

    whatever sub you have doesnt matter on the power wire so your title is confusing.

    Also, I think you made a typo, does the amp accept 4awg or 0awg?

    You should use the largest wire you can possibly fit, no matter what quality the amp is.

    yea my fault man i did make a typo lol i just fixed it, but my amp accepts 4awg but i didn't know that when i got the amp so i had got an 1/0awg amp kit and i was wondering if i trimmed the wire down a little so it can fit would that defeat the purpose of the 1/0awg wire?

    i just got my sub yesterday (fi 15" btl)and i got this temp amp for now its a power acoustik 5500 bamf that only accepts 4awg. it's funny because the inputs on the amp is slanted so it seems like it would be hard to use the 0awg to 4awg reducers. but manly wanted to know if i trimmed down the 1/0awg wire to fit would that defeat the purpose of having 1/0awg? or i should just run two dist. blocks 1/0awg in and 4awg out to the amp?

  11. what's a better ground?

    Pretty much what I was getting at, what with there being a need for about 5 feet more length to the power run. Direct grounding can alleviate that annoying humming and whining too. I just view it as unnecessary unless you really need that extra power. I did the same thing though, but my amps are 5 feet away from my batteries. I just believe in what's easier for your budget.

    yea that was what i was saying because im on a budget now thanks for the info man
