Can anyone suggest a good quick connector for DX-500?

I have seen these on Amazon

This is what you need, Anderson connector;

Just make sure you get two of the same color.

Agreed. I have the red Anderson plugs on all my amplifiers. I have seen red, gray, and the blue ones pictured. If you have a butane torch it’s simple to melt solder in the metal pieces, dunk the wire and then snap them into the plastic plugs.

Get the gray, they are the standard.
These connectors should be crimped with an industrial type crimp tool BEFORE you add the solder.
I have had to repair a lot of them and amplifiers because of an insufficient electrical connection because they were not crimped first.
You cannot get a good crimp after solder is added.
