Question Help

Weird, to me. I have a new amp. It has holes for the power and ground wires that, are sized for a 4awg. wires. My cables are 8awg. It only is going to see maybe 400w total, and not for extended play. So, 8awg is plenty. Now,.... I need help finding the right way to "bush" or "sleeve" the difference of the 8awg wire to a hole that was intended for a 4awg wire. There has to be something out there, and I don't know what it is called !
??? Can you help ?

Just put a 8G wire ferrule on wire and insert into amp, then crimp down with amp insert screw.
