Sub Quick disconnects???

Is there a good, quality, set of quick connects for sub wire?

I need a sub box to be removable and I cant integrate anything into the box right now. Any sort of quality conectors I could get to go inline on the sub wire? The only thing I can find is the stupid butt connectors.

You could use some spade connectors.

I was looking for something that was a little more rugged and not so cheap.

What would be ideal in my situation would be similar to a set of RCA conectors that I could put on the wires. Something that I could plug and unplug with ease.

Not something that is gonna break and come lose from the wiring and have to be crimped an soldered again.

How do the wires attach the box? Depending on the type of connection banana plugs could be an options. You could even take a set, get the female connection parts and rig it up outside the box wherever you'd like.

Something like this would work. Made for RC cars

This would probably work too

I like the idea of the 2 pin quick disconnects. That's more of what I was looking for.

However I made a couple changes to the wiring now. Maybe y'all can tell me if you see a problem with this.

My amp is a mono D and the terminals on the inside of the amp are wired in perallel inside of the amp. And I'm wiring a set of 4ohm subs down to 2ohm.... So instead of running a jumper wire from each positive and negative on the subs..... I'm gonna run a single positive and negative off of sac sub to the amp..... And run both positive leads into the positive side of the amp channel and both negatives into the negatives on the amp.
The way I see it.... That will be 2ohm impedance at the amp and the subs. Oh.... FYI the subs are SVC subs. So a positive from each sub to the positives on the amp and the same with the negatives.
It's just splitting it at the amp instead of at the sub...... Right?

Did we get an answer on this one yet?

The wiring is sealed through the box. No sense in cutting holes and compromising a really good sealed enclosure. And I think I'm gonna go with the 12 gauge quick connects that was linked from ebay. I like that idea.
The inline quick connects are so that the box can be unplugged and removed from the truck easily and quickly.
The amp is on a circut breaker so I can easily be switched off with the flick of a switch.
The truck has still got to be able to haul kids and work stuff. But needs a sound system for every other day! Lol!
