Default Pdx 4x150 or bigger amp users

So looking for a quick disconnect for my 8ga power wires. My old disconnect for my old smaller amp was just 12ga wire so I was using male/female spade connectors and it was fine. All the ones I was finding for the 8ga are like huge disconnects. I really don't want to drill a bigger hole in my bag than I already have. I used stranded wire so I guess I could strip it down some more and use 10/12 ga fittings. What are u guys using that not huge. Has any used 12 ga wire for the alpine units. All my other wires are already quick disconnect. Pics or links would be great. I did go to trailer store but there stuff was pretty big too

Where are you mounting your amp that needs a quick disconnect ??

I run 2 of the Alpine PDX 4.150 amps in the tourpack. They are wired with 4 gauge.

Here's one that's 10 gauge but they make lower gauge(MKR-20) if you thing you need it. Minn Kota is manufacturer of them.
