[QUOTE="elm3r, post: 336165, member: 550889"] Hey everyone... Got a rather interesting question. In my install, I decided to take the custom-built box I have for my 2 15"s, and do all of the audio and power distribution inside of it. I have 2 amps (low and mids/high) that will be attached to the front of the box, with all the RCA's and Speaker Leads going in and out of the box. Here's my dilemma: I want to run power into the box using a plug connector and receiver of some type, but have no idea where to get one. My amps take around 120amps of current @ 13.5volts, so I need something that'll take that without melting/catching on fire/etc. The kind of plug/receiver I'm looking at getting is along the lines of the one at this link: [URL="http://www.rxdirect2u.com/images/product/plug220V.jpg"]Power Connector[/URL] I want one thats a twist-lock plug though, to prevent possible disconnection. It also has to be able to take 2 4ga power wires (hot and ground). So, to sum it all up, I'm looking for an electrical plug and receiver that: 1) is like the link above, but locking 2) will take 2 4ga power wires 3) will handle roughly 120amps @ 13.5volts DC Anyone know where I can get such a beast? Or maybe have another way to run the power into the box? The effect I'm going for is the ability for quick-disconnect (preferably tool-less). -elm3r [/QUOTE]
