I'm using Neutrik connectors. www.neutrik.com Mouser is a US distributor. I'm using the Speakon version. The ones I'm using are rated at 40 amps continuous with up to four poles.
They also have a version called PowerConn that has three poles intended for use as power connectors. I believe they cost me around $10 for a pair (1 cord connector and 1 chassis connector).
