I'm going to have to watch this when i get home. It seems to me from what I'm reading is if your electrical isn't up to snuff stick these help. Not what i want to hear

THERE IS NO BUILD LOG!

Seems like the disadvantages easily win over the advantages.

Care to elaborate?

Call me and I will tell you what I saw in the different tests I ran.

Certainly.

Advantage number 1 : You gain 132W (which is almost 3.5%)

A increase of 3.5 percent, which means it will be only 0.1 dB louder which more then obviously is unhearable or even unnoticeable.

Those are the only advantages.(except maybe looks)

Disadvantage number 1: You have to pay 25 dollar extra for the single reducer (plus shipping maybe?) or 30 dollar for the double 1/0 input where you see the 3.5 percent increase, so it would almost be stupid to buy the 0 guage to 0 guage adapter.

Disadvantage 2: You get a extra link in the chain of wiring that could fail.

Disadvantage 3: The amplifier becomes longer so you need more space.

Disadvantage 4:Positive and negative are not shielded off, so if you drop a screw or anything else that is conductive on it you will see spark and overheating of the object which can turn into a fire or atleast damage the interior of the car.

Now im going to list things I dislike: You need to pay extra for the reducer and then buy extra wire just to make a little tiny bit more power.

Why would I need to shove more wire in a amplifier even though the amp doesn't have dual or triple inputs for the positive and negative, i'm pretty sure the engingeers designed it so it only needs 1 set of terminals (if that isn't correct then the amp isn't engineered correctly and I certainly won't support that company)

Why would there be a increase in power if you add something to the chain of wiring eventhough the amount of wire stays the same(seems more like a test error to me, because the wire attaches exactly in the same way to the amp as it does to the reducers).

There can be some spelling/grammar mistakes as i'm typing this on my cellphone.

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
