Interested in custom power outlet setup...

Does anyone have any custom power outlet setup? Interested in pics if possible. Looking for something other than the cheezy multiple outlets from Wally world. Something to mount at the bottom of the dash; at or on the tranny tunnel...Or perhaps somewhere on the lower part of the center console. I have several devices I run off the cig plug and want something that looks clean without wires running all over the place. Any innovative ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There is not much available in the "custom" or "quality" for these that i have seen but here are a couple that may be acceptable.

Do you have to leave the cig plugs on? Depending what they connect to, you may be better off removing them as I have seen more than a few melt due to draw.

If you can live without them, go to West Marine (West Marine: Home Page) and pick up a weatherproof terminal block. Run Switched (or unswitched) power and ground and away you go. Their block is fused so you are less likely to fry something important.

if you don't remove them and just don't want to cut plug to hard wire to your upfitter switches just buy the cig lighter pig tail and hard wire it behind you dash and then hide the cords.
