Banana plugs or something similar for speaker wire input to amps?

I have all 8gauge wire ran to my 5channel and Mono Amps. needless to say its about twice the size as the 5channel amp accepts. Ide like to clean this up nice and perhaps do it to the mono aswell. whats my best options?

1) something like banana plugs, that accept 8gauge?

2) solder and file speaker wire for a nice solid fit?

3) reduce the 8gauge to 12gauge with a reducer/splice?

4) something else....

Make sure you are using the correct sized wire for your application.

Almost ! on the right track. Round holes with allen screw pinch down on amp. a 8gauge to 12gauge or 16gauge pin would be perfect. cant find anything.... surely not everyone runs just bare wire to there amps? I mean there should be a option for a cleaner install right?
