Point me in the right direction for a part

Know I've seen this part but I don't remember what it's called or where I saw it but I'm looking for that box you can install under your dash to run power to your gauges. I believe you run a wire to battery and on to ground then you can hook up six things to it with out having to splice into power other places

Ok so it's called either a circuit box or a fuse block. You're seems to be a little pricey since I don't need it to be water proof, but I do like the ability to hook into power and ignition. Anyone else have any brands?

Could one of the cheaper ones be spliced into the cigarette lighter and have enough juice to power 3 gauges and a boost controller, or am I starting to over tax that circuit?

One in the link has 2 fuse blocks, you can get the single block like the one I have for cheaper.

You can use the cigarette light as trigger, but the block still has to draw power from the battery to feed your accessaries.

How is this? Most of the ones I've seen on line only seem to have a hot wire and a ground?

If it is a fuse block with relay then it should have source ground and trigger. If you just need to light up some gauges then the cigarette light source is ok, I wouldn't use it for more than that.
