I need to be able to disconnect 3 speaker cables that run from 2 Neutrik Speakon panel connectors.
This is necessary when I remove the rear enclosures of my SH50 synergy horns.
I will remove them to halve the cabinet weight when I need to move them around.
Currently the cables are soldered to the Neutrik spade terminals and ditto to the drivers. Long enough to slow the rear enclosure to be lifted and dropped m into place.
I'm using 1 X 2 way neutrik plug and 1 X 1 way.
What simple robust, good quality, inexpensive inline connectors could be recommended for this?
I've looked at Neutrik and clone offerings, they are all a bit bulky and might need taping or other to stop them rattling around?
Something positive clicking together and perhaps silver plated like Neutriks.
I would need 6.
Other ideas welcome.

I would splice using barrel crimp connectors, BUT I would also make sure that the two wires being spliced crossed each other in the crimp. This ensures that the important makeup of the wire is directly connected one to the other, and not having to make its way through another metal such as would be the case in the crimp metal itself. You have likely paid dearly for the wire that you are using. Keep it in the splice connecting to itself as much as possible.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I would like something that is easy to make / break in a second - impossible to get reversed polarity or even worse the one driver / amp feed - even in the pub carpark in the dark😃
Will always be under time pressure taking these apart and putting them back together again..
I think it will be Speakons.. can have LF / MF feed one way round male/female, and the HF the other way.
That way I can't plug them in to the wrong driver.

8 pole Speakon? Enough to do a 4 way, or 3 way with subs. Note however, that multiple conductors together will reduce ampacity, and they can take up to 12awg maximum. Cable diameter of 8-20 mm.

Thanks ! 👍
I didn't know such a thing existed!
I'm sure my low level event and hifi listening wouldn't approach amperage problems.
Now to see if there's male / female inline on offer!
