I'm designing a PCB for an audio amplifier that has the potential to put out 40A (instantaneous), and honestly, I'm out of my comfort zone. The connectors are rated to a min 35A and I'm basically going for big fat traces to take the current load.
All components in the assembly are pass-thru connectors, nothing to overheat besides the board itself.
The narrowest neck is 5.5mm thick (besides certain spots where I have to taper down by the molex)
I plan on using 4oz copper
I read about doing a waves solder to help as well, same goes for buss bars
Trace/Pad clearances are 50mil (plz don't harass me for using mm and mil)
What I'm looking for answers to
1) Is this just dumb? Am I crazy?
2) Any suggestions
3) General high current PCB design suggestions
Proto-types for testing will be done, but I'd rather not spend the money if this won't work out of the box.
Thanks for the feedback

even though your board may be 4 oz copper : the plating in the holes won't be ! So whenever you experience a layer-hop : shoot a ring of via's around the holes.
For example : your power arrives on bottom layer to a capacitor pin , then leaves on top layer. Don't bank on the solder and the pin ! it may not flow up far enough in the hole to guarantee a nice solder fillet under the component. It wouldn't be the first board where the plating burns out...
