Default Need help ordering deutsch connectors

In '04 RK:
- No head unit or front fairing, will be using iSomething
- Installing SS pn4.520D in hard saddlebag
- Hogtunes saddlebag speaker lids with 6x9's
- Yanking rear turn signal bar and installing CycleVisions bag lites
- will be installing Cycle Sounds bullet speakers on the crash bar at some point
Deutsch connectors: I want to use flange receptacles on the bags. I'm thinking I use a two conductor (hot & ground) DTP power plug and receptacle that takes 10AWG for the amp power, and a DT eight conductor plug and receptacle for the rest (one pair to other bag 6x9, two pairs for the front bullets, and the taillight hot & ground.) BUT, will having the taillight pair in the same plug as the speaker wires cause interference? Do I actually want a six conductor plug for the speakers, and another two conductor setup for the tailight? For a total of three setups on the bag with the amp?
Then the same situation would be on the opposite bag: a pair of separate two conductor plugs (bag 6x9 pair, and tailight hot & ground), or can I do one- four conductor setup?
Also, I'm not sure what the difference is with the Deutsch solid and stamped pins, and nickel or gold, I need some guidance.
And has anyone rented the crimping tool online? I forget what website I saw it on, but it was $25 for a week, seems worth it as long as they don't jack you around.
Thanks, I know that was long winded, so I appreciate any responses!

That looks about what I used. When I did mine I had to crimp, rotate 90 degrees, then crimp again. But it worked.
