 You can buy "banana" jacks and plugs in a dual
configuration. I have even seen them ready made
with 1 red and 1 black knob around gold plated,
surface mount (sort of)  jacks (the 'jack' is the
female, the 'plug' is the male).
I found "dual binding posts" (different words,
same item) at this site;

 I am sure if you carefully search at that site
(MCM Electronics, I've bought things there with
good results) you will find some gold plated dual
banana plugs to connect to the wires of your 12
volt devices.

 These jacks can NOT be mistaken for 120 V AC wall
sockets. These are the type of connector used on
technician "bench" variable power supplies and I
have never seen them used in any other application
except for DC voltage.

 Good luck.
