I dont always think the gauge inputs or number of inputs makes the amp. I had a stetsom 2k6d amp that had 2ga wire inputs for the power and ground (they were really 4ga but the holes were big enough and i even stuffed all of my tsunami 1/0 in there) and that amp was clamped at over 2800w rms at 5 ohms. The amp mind you was a 2 ohm model rated to do 2600w rms at 2 ohms on a 14.4v system. I wish i never sold that amp knowing that about it now.

Either way they do have distro blocks though they are usually fused that will accept 1/0, two 4/8ga inputs and then give up to 4 4/8ga outputs with a fuse between each output. I myself have one and would sell it to you if i knew for sure id never use it but they are out there.

I say just stick it out and either get a distro block or a pair of reducers for it and be done with it, worry about upgrading the amp and everything else later.

edit: just was going through the f/s thread on here and found this http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/135732-for-sale-20-10-wire-reducers-4-ch-amp-d3400-xs-tweeters-midranges-speaker-wires-terminals/ The guy has 3 pairs of 1/0 to 4ga reducers and thats the exact same one i used on an old precision power amp i have.

i might just have to get those reducers but i hope the fit next to each other, also my main thing is that the amp needs to have 10guage speaker outputs. i might end up getting the tx1.2000d 0r maybe a smaller one. and if i do get reducers from 0gauge to 4 it wont make the amp get hot will it?

Reducers wont make the amp hot and they have never shorted out with a few amps i used mine on. They get close but some shrink wrap at the nearest harbor freight or radioshack will fix that for you along with electrical tape if you are still concerned.

Also why does the amp need to have 10 gauge speaker outputs? Is that the wire you are using or something?

i gotta stick to 1500 - 2000w rms with the subs i got. does anyone know if the mb quart onx 1500.d is any good and does it take 0 gauge. ive read somewhere that it does then other places say 2 gauge

I own the DCS1500.1 which is pretty much the older version of this amp. I love this amp man, it pushes super clean power and idk if you care but the bass knob is really acurate. I would sell this amp to a friend.

EDIT: also about the wire, i've used 10 gauge in my speaker terminals since i've owned it and the power and ground are a kinda small 2awg.. And with the reducer, the terminals turn down so it might give you some trouble.. just a heads up you might have to lift the amp off of the mounting spot to get it in there.
