Heh!  I was able to use #8, after calling a local hifi store that sells MTX
stuff (I bought the amp used).  It turns out that #8 is what it's really
supposed to use anyway.  Still, it was tight fit.  I had to screw the
terminal out all the way, and the wire barely went in.

I did check an electrical supply house that I do a lot of business with,
and they didn't know of anything available.  I can't say I'm very
surprised, though.  Those places don't deal with this type of stuff.

An electronics store didn't even occur to me!  <Duuhhh...>

Hey, man, thanks for the offer!  I'd take you up on it if I hadn't got it
in.  It works pretty well,  but I need some good speakers and a sub now.
(Santa?  You hear that?)

I *would* love to see some plans for the grounding bus, though.  That
sounds pretty cool.  I love doing stuff like that.  Any chance you could
scan 'em and post 'em on a web page???
