It says it accepts 4 awg power inputs but some reason I can't get the Sky high car audio 4 gauge to 0 gauge converter to fit...

Anyone else that own this model of the amp and had the same problem?

It's because of the design of the inputs, they aren't the same generic inputs that most other amps have, 4 Gauge wire fits them just fine.

Get your self a distribution block and run your 1/0 to that and then 4 Gauge from there to the amp.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Use a file to shape the ends so they fit. They are meant for a set screw type amp terminal. You might have to remove the "hook" on the end and make them flat on top.

X2. I think the guy doing the walled sonic build did that...? I know someone did recently

Hmm. I thought maybe the SHCA design was bad so I ordered a bunch of new terminals from toolmaker metal workz ><

Just run shca 4g ofc wire. Thats all you need. no need for 0 to 4.
The amp truly only needs 8g anyway.
