Small problem, need connection solution...

[argento]

Hi,

My problem is that I have a sub enclosure mounted to my battery cover and the sub wires go from the enclosure to the amp. When I need to access my battery the only thing to do is remove the 8 screws and disconnect the sub, then place the enclosure aside, so as not to damage the sub.

I want a quick disconnect between the amp and the sub so I can remove the entire sub assy at once. I've seen some Monster Banana connectors I can use for one half of the wires, but I haven't been able to find a crimp type female banana connector to complete the qd. Any ideas/suggestions?


TIA

Radioshack has a bunch of similar, less expensive things that will work just as well.

Thanks for the help, I'll try RS tomorrow. I was aiming for inline b/c I don't have room for plate mounts. The only place to fit a plate mount is the front b/c the enclosure is surrounded on all other sides. I don't think it would fit on the bottom b/c it would physically interfere with the battery once connected.

Somethign like this recesed angled banana plug jack

would fit under and not interfere as long as you connected the wires to the end of the banana plugs instead of the end like these

The wire goes in the end then a set screw crimps it in place.

OK, just thought I'd finish this thread. I found a banana female to banana female connector. I spliced the cable inline and then wrapped it in a insulated fabric that was wrapped around my bluetooth connector...good thing I saved it.

This is the ideal connector for your application:

They are reasonably weathertight, vibration proof, and most importantly---they can handle gobs of current such as delivered into a subwoofer. Banana plugs suck for high-current applications, and are not recommended for what you have in mind.
