Default 0 guage coupler?

Soooooo....

i made some ground on my install on saturday but also set myself back. after finishing off the facade for the computer and zapco amp i realized i hated the phaze amp rack i had built and carpeted. so i threw it out (this is why it's taking me so long! i've started over so many times it's sickening). My new install plan may allow me to 'show off' my distro blocks but the problem is i dont have enough wire run. my original plan had the fused distro's behind the passenger seat and that is all well and good. BUT! now I think i want to extend the power to the trunk area. so my question is... are there any 'couplers' out there that would allow me to extend my 0 gauge to the back ok the car? or is my only option to get another distro block (unfused) and use that to connect the two wires?

Here's what you're looking for.

Darvex is a great company. Bought from them a few times in the past (mainly through their Ebay listings).

Stick one wire in the left ear and the other wire in the right ear Oops, I guess that would still be an open gap for Scott

The fuse holder is a good idea but I like the solid distro block idea better. The reason why is a fuse is a weak link. What I mean is to look at the size of wire in 0-guage cable and then look at the link inside the fuse. BIG difference. I no longer use a fused ditso block in the rear of the car. The fuse within 18" on the battery is still a MUST

Stinger makes a 0 gauge set screw butt connector.

I know this because I too had to once reassemble some 0 gauge wire after totaling my Neon

For some reason I thought Darvex was a manufacturer, not a store

And no...I do have a lot of tee-nuts in there right now though
