OK, in the manual it says "(0)Zero guage power and ground connectors". Now how in the hell am I supposed to fit 1/0 guage wire in here when my Streetwires 4 guage barely fits?

Does anyone have a couple for sale, or know where I can find some cheaper than this?

Those reducers can get expensive! That price isn't too bad, but I would just trim that sh1t like Chauncey suggested.

If you trim to much then you can have a problem but if its still a tight fit into the terminal... you shouldnt have an issue unless the amp itself should have been designed with bigger terminals, or the power wire is to long. But triming wire can mess it up if it is to off of the ratio... say you have a 1000 strand 0gauge... and trim it to about 200Strands... then you may see a problem... but for the short distance that the power needs to flow threw the trimmed wire it should be fine unless the wire was to long to support the current needed...
