Best way to connect wires

I love to solder, but when trying to connect more than 3 wires it gets a little hairy.

I have a 4-gauge wire that I would like to connect to 7 or 8 12-gauge wires. What's the best way to do this?

You can probably get a distribution block somewhere. They won't have 8 outputs but you should be able to find something or use two if you have to. Not too helpful, but that's all I got!

Thanks for the help. I found that practically all distribution blocks are geared for 8-gauge amp wires. I don't mind piggybacking 2, but so far the only choice I have is to try to fit a 12-gauge wire into an 8-gauge hole. I know it's possible but I would prefer not to rig it.
