There is a shop on Hunt Street called 'Sound Center' who has all sorts of Stuff. I got my posts from Best Buy. High Price, but i could walk there while the car was in pieces. I have a post from my old car. Send me a pm if you want to come and get it.

are these extenders as in they screw into the battery and then the car's + screws into that. The gm battery(at least on my van) doesnt have a terminal "ring" i gues you can call it. So its hard to put a wire on it unless you have an eyelet. Thats how i got the 8G wire on it. I know, or hope i can get the 4g on there no prob, but i have doubts about the 0, hense i want to make it clear before i start and then have to take a step back.

there is no bloody way that using thicker wire will keep your amp cooler....... if anything it will get more power, put out more power, and get HOTTER.... lol

8awg should be fine for that amp..... adding a fan or changing amps is what I would recommend.............

one way you could do it is run it off of a relay switch (a few bux at princess auto, a few bux for the fan) then run your remote turn on wire to the relay... when your amp turns on so will the fan...
