Here is the data sheet on a 4 pole Speakon cable connector. Check out the current rating. They also have it in a version with screw clamping mechanism instead of solder terminals.

Have been using the 4 pole Speakon connectors for the servo subs and they work very well. Just make sure you get a good click on twist to lock the connectors when inserting them. |

Gold over brass 2mohm contact resistance this seems good but it’s only good for 5000 matings that means it will only last a couple months with a geek |

I use the silver plated. I have had zero issues. If your binding posts accommodate the diameter of the eight wires twisted together you don't need a termination. Fewer joints are better. Just keep in mind that copper is relatively soft so you should check the tightness of the binding post from time to time. Gently, of course. |

That is why you should never tin wires before clamping them down. Solder is softer than the copper and more creep will happen. |
