You can make your own. All you need is enclosure box, switches and wires.
Or check Products

Re: Switchboards?

to clean up the battery, run just one larger gauge fused wire into your car to the switch box. then run everything there instead of to the battery

Re: Switchboards?

Since we are talking about adding switches, here is another location i've seen on J3ST3R's xB



And on this i used smaller ones so you can double the number you can have in stock location:

It's a tight fit in that location but just enough for wires. Here is a pic with wiring assembled:

Re: Switchboards?

I put the toggel switches on this thing.....there kinda inconspicous here....I also have lights rigged to them (right above the switchs) so that I know when things are on or off......

Re: Switchboards?

I like that added power strip and blacked out trim
Nice fit on floormats are they just from some parts store?
