Wiring in new Storage Solutions cubby box

(1/3) > >>

Ollie:
OK, so my new cubbybox from stoage solutions is and waiting to be fitted :)
I have the top dollar version, with the two rear power sockets 8)

So, how did people wire these things in?
How did you route the power from the battery box :?:
What rating inline fuse did you use :?:
Did anyone consider a junction box for power, the running the required connections from that, if so, what did you use as a junction box :?:
Anything I've missed off this list :?

Cheers guys
Ollie

I would be intrested in the answers as I been looking at these cubby-boxes as well.

Does it not come with any clues, instructions etc?

Mace:

Hi Ollie

Although I didn't get the version with the accessory sockets, I do have a stereo and a CB in my cubby box...

I've taken a permanent and a switched live from the fuse box (used a test meter to find the relevant feeds...), and then ran the 2 wires under the rubber transmission tunnel cover and up into the cubby box. Both wires have inline fuses at the cubby box end.

To get a good quality earth, I went straight to the battery...

I guess in your situation I'd suggest taking two separate feeds from the socket side of the current accessory socket fuse (as opposed to the battery side), and running it under the mat (as above). I'd put an inline fuse in for each cable, probably at the fuse box end of the new wires.

The only concern with taking the feed from the socket side of the current fuse is that you're potentially putting three times the lod on the original fuse.

Anyone else got any thoughts on the side of the fuse to use?

Cheers

With my cubby box I just drilled a hole in the bottom of it and ran a couple of wires to the battery under the passenger seat.
