Why not wire in a bank of PowerPoles instead. Much neater and smaller
installation. I use PowerPoles on everything now.

My next truck, I am going to wire quite a few of them in there, with
adequate wiring, at least for the stuff requiring 15amps or less, with the
source for those sockets coming from the battery direct.

Because my car has an accessory port and I am not about to go "hamifying" my
car, short of a dualband antenna and a radio with a remote mount head.

You weren't replying to ME (KC2SSB), you were replying to someone else.

You are right. It was Ryan KC8PMX that I was responding to. My point
was that I was NOT responding to your question. Just a little mix up
in names. Sorry.

Trying locating one of the grommets on the firewall and feed a fairly decent
wire (two conductor wire) to the battery that way. No damage if you are
using an existing source entry point. Works well especially for those
leasing a vehicle.
If it is large enough, you might also be able to run other devices as well.
