aye, fork connectors, or file some ring connectors down either side or go for the dizzy block idea - its about your only choice mate :thumbs:

or you could buy a distribution block and then use an 8gauge from the distribution block load side which would fit alot better mate. ;) also leaves the option to extend your system further with another amp if you wish.:D

yeah ive got 2 spare ring connectors things for like going on the battery, as the kit has 4 of them, only need 2 (one for earth and +ve)

might mess with one, file it and cut it down, worth a try to make it fit.

If not ill get some fork ones tomorrow :thumbs:

You could get 4 guage fork connectors and squeeze the two forks together with pliers so it fits into the gap. Ive had to do that in the past.

Its 4 gauge wire, id thought about that but wasnt sure, i mean if i need to cut it down to fit it in the fork connectors might as well just clamp the attual wire down the clamp/screw things on the amp?

You could just remove some of the copper strands so that it will fit into the fork connector and crimp it down. Is that 8 gauge cable you are using?

This is a side piccy of my amp and the wire im gonna use for +ve, i know its in the wrong terminal in the picture but its just to show the size. How am i ment to wire it to the amp? the fork terminals i have just fit in these came with the amp but the wire is a fair bit bigger than the core of the +ve wire so i cant use them. The gap between the plastic dividing things between the terminals is 6.8mm.




Anyone help please?
