you can trim 0 gauge to fit in a 4ga terminal

Are you serious? Anyway what i would do is run the 0 back and get your self another battery for the back.Then run the 4ga off the battery.That way you will be ready for what ever you do next.XS and Kinetic make great batteries.

i dont understand what you meant, then what wire is actually going into the amp...the 0ga with the reducer or just the 4ga

I'd trim 1/0 before using those huge ass connectors, then again I don't want my amps to arc out or connectors to touch

Just get some terminals from toolmaker that let you run 3 runs of 1/0 for each your power and ground, after it is 1000rms.....you need at least that

/sarcasm

But for your current set-up 4 gauge will be fine, unless within like a month or 2 you are gonna get the AQ, but even then you would be fine with 4 gauge as long as you had a battery in the back, and the run was only a foot or two long, I mean your not competing so getting that extra 1/20th of a db isnt really a concern

x2

but i agree that i would run the 1/0 to a small battery in the back then run 4awg from that to the amp.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

I'm with the trim it crowd. If you buy that reducer it wouldn't be part of an upgrade plan anyways so why bother?

how conductive are those reducers? is it the same as having 0ga going into the amp...

The amp only draws a load conducive with 4g so it doesn't matter. Remember the amp DRAWS current, it doesn't have it shoved down its neck.

There are a few ways to make it work.

The simplest is to just trim some of the wire off the end of the cable to make it fit. There is nothing wrong with that.

You can get those reducers, but for what you pay for them, they aren't worth it.

A simple way (but not recommended) is to put a terminal on the end of the 0 gauge, and get a chunk of 4 gauge with a terminal on the end of it, and use a nut and bolt to connect the two terminals, and tape them up real good.

Or you can put a nut and bolt on the terminal of the 0 gauge and put the bolt in the terminal. Something like this: http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii281/brotheriesh/new%20new%20box/100_0678.jpg
