Electrical supply places (not home depot or lowes) will have exothermic 
welding stuff (OneShot(tm) for instance).  A little ceramic mold and 
some powder you dump in and ignite).

Split bolts in copper/bronze are also used to join large conductors. 
Those do show up at the HD/Lowes kind of places, although perhaps not 
for 4/0.

you could also hard solder the cable to the rods if you use a suitable 
high melting solder and a torch.
