hey i have an xforce 400hd, they say I should use 4 gauge wire. Well the wire coming out the back of that amp is 10 gauge. How the heck can i connect these two together. Or what would be the best way. Is there some kinda plug. Thx

solder it, preferably, or use the twist on connectors, anything except the old twist-together-&-tape-it trick.
i removed the factory wires from my texas star dx1600 and soldered in #6 or #4(don't remember), it makes it that much easier to connect to my #00 cables.
