Inside cabin power sources

[rob fd]

Is there any good power and ground sources inside the car apart from the stereo? Is The cigarette lighter easily accessible? Is there any others as i need to wire in a boost controller and my meth kit and i already have a few things tapped into stereo source so don't want to overload it.

What you could do........
Run a power lead direct from battery or ignition source, buy a small fused junction box (I got mine from ebay) and mount it under the dash! This way you only need to use 1 power and 1 ground! I used my stereo power for this and have a 6 way junction box. It's literally the size of a matchbox

This is mine

That's not a bad shout actually! You just literally tap it into the red and black from stereo then plug whatever you needed into that?

There's an ignition live in the fuse box in the driver's side footwell. You can see it's a spade connector sat at its own in the top end of the fuse box..

Run your stuff to that and stick a fuse inline.
