Default Where to Mount Aux Fuse Panel

I am running some wire for a few sets of lights and power for the back seats and am using this for my aux fuse block.



Where are you all mounting something like this or any ideas on where to mount this?

Thanks in advance

I used a similar box by Blue Sea Systems, which I mounted behind the glove box. There is plenty of room there, and I am wiring everything inside from this fuse box. The power cable comes straight from the battery thru the left side of the dash and the ground in on the right side by the passenger's feet.

I pushed four zip strips thru the plastic grate and attached them thru each corner on the fuse box. It has held up quite well to this point. (Knocking on wood!!)

I have been thinking about the same box and mounting it either behind the glove box or between the battery and fuse box. After seeing yours mounted here i think i will do something similar. Also, what gauge wire did you run from the batter? Did you use an inline fuse or circuit breaker?
