Default quick question about connectors?

what have you guys found that work best to hook up a 4 guage power and ground to your amp. by this i mean the connectors that you hook to the amp. i've looked around a little bit and i can't seem to find a connector that will hold 4 guage wire but yet be small enough to hook to the amp. any help is greatly appreciated.

This is definatly something that you're gonna have to find at an audio store. Also, check out crutchfield's selection of connectors.

I usually use a 4 ga in to 8 ga out fuse block and put it next to amps, then run 8 to the amps.

fuse blocks usually have allen set (screw in) connectors

if youre only running one amp off the 4 ga and you cant find any 4 ga terminals to fit, just use 8 ga one and trim down the fibers. unless youre a 193 db big baller, it's a slim chance it will make a difference. if you'd rather not, PM me and I'll get you some soft 4 ga brass ones that can be ground down to fit just about anything.
