which dist. blocks work with a 2 gauge welders wire

I picked up about 25 ft of 2 gauge welding wire and I am having a hard time finding a distribution block that has a 2 gauge input and two 4 gauge outputs. Most have a 0 and 1 gauge input or 4 gauge input. WOuld a block that is advertised to have a 0 gauge input work with my wire? Also, I would really like to find a block that has a 2 gauge input, 4 gauge output and a 8 gauge output. The power wire connection on my sub amp looks big so im gonna use 4 gauge wire. The other amp doesnt have quite a big terminal for a 4 gauge wire so Im gonna try and run a 8 gauge wire.

I've never once seen anything marketed as 0 gauge or 4 gauge input. I've seen 1 0 gauge to 4 4 gauge (meaning one 0 gauge in and four 4 gauge outs).

I'm just using a 0 gauge block for my 2 gauge wire. The wire doesn't fill the hole completely but you can crank the screws down enough for it to grab the wire nicely.
