Amp power terminal connector that fits


Granite

Recommended Posts

Trying to figure out how to get a 4 gauge wire onto an amp with a set-screw / clamp type power and ground terminal. 
 

Ive looked for spades and rings and nothing looks to be even remotely close to the small size the amp has allocated.  
 

Amp is a focal r-4280 which I will bridge to my k2 powers at 170w x 2.  I’m trying to keep this as clean looking as possible, so I would hate to just plug in bare wire (even if that’s considered a slightly better connection).

 

How does everyone normally connect to these kinds of amps?  Can I just use a 4 to 8 gauge wire reducer?

Just run 8-10ga wire... With 30a of fusing, 4ga is wayyy overkill unless it's a super loooong wire run.

You could run 4 gauge to a distribution block then 10 gauge out of that to the amp. That’s only if you plan to upgrade otherwise with only 30amps you could get away with 8 gauge for up to about 19-20 feet
