I use hydraulic crimpers. Or solder all the other crimpers aren't as good as you think. Except the long handle very expensive cable crimpers

ya i have seen the long ones with handle but would like to find something i could put on my vise so i can crimp some wires.

something like what you get when buying a universal spark plug wire kit ( the good kits ) it has a 2 plates that crimp the ends.

is there anything like that ?

Percussion crimps aren't good in car audio applications because they do not create a sealed connection. The long term results are that corrosion will build up inside the crimp and eventually lead to high resistance (which = voltage drops) and, possibly, noise.

Hydraulic crimpers fuse the copper wire with the copper lug and make a connection that is impenetrable. They're more expensive but the extra cost is invaluable if you want long lasting connections, solid connections.
