I mounted mine under my passenger seat of my truck. Just make sure it gets plenty of air, it is going to be in a pretty hot environment as it is.

Careful if you pull wire through the firewall, use grommets.

Also decide if you want it available all of the time, or just when the switch is in the accessory position.

Depending on when you want to use it, as an alternative to hard wiring, most of them come with battery clamps so that you can attach it directly when you need it, but that isn't helpful when you want to be driving at the same time. A cigarette lighter plug could work for that.

Any idea what you want to plug into it?

Nice item to have, BTW.
