Default Stupid Issue

So I ran 2 gauge wire to the trunk for my soundstream amp. I based the gauge of wire on the fuse size on the amp, 100. My problem is that the input for the battery terminal is significantly smaller. Is there a connector that I could? Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

The terminal on the battery isn't the issue. Its the terminal on the amplifier, very small gauge.

Ohhhhh.... I misunderstood. You have a picture of what the connection on the amp looks like?

A wire ferrule may do the trick.
