Default help me design a plug and play system...

ok, i have it all planned...
i have put handles on my sub box so it can be easily removed
i also have a box on top of the sub box with my mid range speakers...
screwed down to the side of the box is the amp...

now i want to have 'plugs' for everything so i can easily remove it every night n(i also use it as a weight, it weighs at least 100 pounds)
the speakers have a plug on them (they are stock) so thats good...
the amp now?
i don't want to have to use any tool to plug in/out the wires...
what connecter can i use? is there a plug i can buy at an electrical store for 8awg power wire?
could i design one?
it shouldnt bee too much hassle shoud it?
the speaker wire would plug easily, then there is just the rca's , power ground and remote...
will i damage rca's if i plug them in and out all the time?
help me out

edit: i also need to take into consideration the live power wire so the connecter has to conceal all raw wire...

i was thinking of one of those distribution blocks but id have to handle raw wire...

at the same time your making it alot easier for someone else to take it all at once. you could just try to make it a stealth system, but have removeable covers or something. i dunno what kind of car you have or id give you an example. im trying to do this to my rex since i got my last stuff stolen.

by the way...who is that in your avatar...thems some tig ol' bitties

hey there MOJO, been wondering where uve been, MR. M.I.A. so u want a plug and play system. well for starters get banana jacks and connectors. as for the actual power 8 awg wires, some amps have it where u can unplug the whole piece, PPI amps comes to mind. and if ur worried about ur RCA's being broken, try getting 1 foot extensions or something, that way u can check if it will kill the plugs on the extensions. thats better than finding out the hard way on ur RCA's.

not here! in jamaica, once a thief gets in...power wire and speaker wire become as insignificant as a spider web!

ima put a distribution block and build a sort of 'handle' that i can turn instead od using a screwdriver...you know what i mean
so i just push the power wire in and turn the handle to clamp it..
ground wire now...thats sticky....

i have only one ten in the box and 2 amps on it, ill be installing it in my new car soon as i finish fixing it (i bought it on friday but crashed it 5 minutes after purchase ) so im thinking of running the wores throught the connecters i had for the sub...

now, if i connect 8awg to the connecter will it resrict it?
its one of the small one or 2 inch square ones that you plug on the inside and just push the wire in it on the outside..
i maght just put the power and the ground through that connecter... so when removing i just plug out the sub wires on one side, plug out the ground wires on the other and plug out the (extension ) rca's....hmmm

thanks for the help
