Yup spent some time on the blue sea website and checked them out in person as west marine. I plan to mount on behind the glove box then right to the battery with a sizable inline fuse. Cant have enough fuses

I'm trying to wrap my head around this, are there relays in this box? If not, what are you doing for relays, or just not using any?

That would only support 1 out of the 4 lighting systems that I have in place.

HHFD633, where did you mount this box? I just received mine and am having trouble finding a suitable location with enough room in my 2012 JK. Picture if possible.
