Quick Disconnects for Door Midbass/Tweeters?

I'm getting ready for phase II of my D3 install. This part is 3-way component speakers/amp/sub. I'm running new 12 ga wires into the doors for the midbass drivers and tweeters, running back to the crossovers somewhere in the main part of the car.

 

The tweeters have 4' leads attached to them. When I connect these to the new 12 ga wires, I want to use some sort of quick disconnect so I can remove the door panel easily in the future.

 

What's the best way to do this? Are 3M quick disconnects or bullets good enough or will these impact the current flowing to the speakers? A better way?

 

Thinking of these from installer.com:

Those should be fine. Just make sure you get the ones for the gauge wire you're using. The picture you showed is a connector for 16-18 gauge wire.
