I've got banana type sockects on my PS so I just use banana plugs that can be piggy backed togethers so I can connect more than one device to my PS without interupting anything else that is running at the time. It also leaves my work space both at the track and at home less cluttered and also means its one less thing I have to worry about forgetting when I go to the track.

Hey, if your in a hurry and have a Radio Shack near you, you could buy 3) of these.

Take your time installing them, they work good. The only problem is that when you plug in three of these, it gets very long.

yer those look a little dangerous if stacked onto of each other
anyone else got a plan
i was thinking
get a plastic box
drill the holes for the posts and connecting all the red and all the black together
then connect them to a banana plug or alligator clamp
will this work ???

I used deans plug and a cheap USB hub from big lots. That was my first distro box. I made a new one out of deans plugs and a plastic box. Cheap and simple.
