I also use the outdoor cast boxes.  Do the openings in these boxes fit powercon chassis connectors? I really like the steel boxes Dave linked to above, but those and the Windsor boxes don't allow for GFI receptacles without cutting or modification, which I'd like to avoid.

I stopped bothering with an upstage center power drop. Drummers don’t use them and it ends up under the throne on shallow stages.

I found that by shopping around, I could get GFI receptacles that were shallower than others and could fit them into my quad boxes. I start with the cast metal deep outdoor boxes with only 1 or at most, 2 of the smallest openings.

Unlike a lot of folk around here, I spend an inordinate amount of effort getting power right. Without good power you can’t have good production. I really hate having power problems during a show.

No. I punch a hole in the blank wall with a greenly punch. The reason for single small input is minimal intrusion to the box.

Weird. I constantly see that drop getting used for sample machines, click generators, computers, and of course the drummers fan.

I could see that though I do provide a drop left & right so the drummer can get power if needed.
