Tom,
For the past fifteen years or so, I have been standardizing my own 240VAC
amp connections with twist-lock plugs and sockets. Home Depot carries the
Leviton brand but Hubbell, Pass & Seymour, and others make similar
commercial-quality hardware.
As Joe, pointed out, it would be wise to wire the shack with 4-wire 240VAC
service in the event you purchase an older amp that requires a
current-carrying 120 VAC neutral for the internal blower. Home Depot sells
both the 3 and 4-wire version of the 20 and 30-amp twist-lock style
hardware.
