If you have a a good pair of crimpers you can cut it a

little at a time just take small bites its actually

pretty quick to do. To strip it take a razor blade and cut the insulation around the wire it should slide right

off. Make sure you solder any connecters you use with

that wire,crimping doesn't work to well without the right

tools

That's sounds a little large to me. Are you sure you need 2 gauge?

I use a rope cutter or tin snips. If you to the Home Depot you can find them in the tool coral. To strip the insulation casing off the cable I use a razor blade. Audiobahn makes some awesome amps they are very strong and reliable. Good luck with your install!
