I'm going to be running 1/0GA power and ground wiring to my amp which only holds up to 2GA. What would be the best distribution block to buy.. please send links !
I have those in my car and they work great.this could be used to reduce 1/0 to 2awg while giving you some future expandibility. non-fused so you'll just rely on amp fuses to protect the 2awg or reduce the batt fuse size.

that is the wrong size on both ends. improper sizing results in arcing which is what starts fires.I would vote to just reduce the wire without the use of a distro block.Stinger SHT207 Oval 3/0 Gauge to Standard 4 Gauge Adapter Terminal 609098793766 | eBay

an adapter should be closely sized for both wires, at least a 1/0 coupling. 1/0 and 2 awg are close enough
of course, it depends on the wire used. i've seen some 1/0 that would fit in a 2 awg spot.
so which would be the best to go for power and ground?gotcha. the issue with reducing is that you're wasting the 1/0 and any flexibility of adding another amp. A distribution block lets you add an amp easily in teh future.
well im running 4GA wiring right now, but i will be buying 1/0GA wireno need to reduce ground, just run the proper size from the amp to chassis.
for power, you would ideally run the wire the amp requires. otherwise, get a dist block that accepts 1/0 in and out since you won't find a 1/0 to 2awg adapter.
