sPOD BantamX - 8 Circuit System (with HD Push Button Panel)

The brand new sPOD BantamX has the same state of the art circuitry as the Bantam, now with a new, aluminum cover. The sPOD BantamX is a solid state Power Distribution System for centralizing power control of your 12/24 volt DC vehicle accessories to a single switch panel. Less than half the footprint of sPOD's renowned Source SE System, the small size of the sPOD BantamX opens up new mounting location possibilities, for ultimate flexibility under the hood.

Interested but need some help wiring the system? Let us know, we do installs!

The sPOD Bantam is an 8-circuit system (expandable up to 32 circuits) with a single cable running between the source controller under the hood and the switch box in the cab of your vehicle. Choose between the Touchscreen Panel digital switch controller, or the rugged HD Push Button Switch Panel. Both panels are fully programmable. This is the HD Push Button model. Please look here for the BantamX Touchscreen Panel model or the LED Switch Panel model.

The sPOD BantamX + HD Push Button System is now eligible for Free Shipping to US addresses!

Slightly different bracket styles are required for mounting the BantamX in different locations and vehicles so it is important to let us know your vehicle information.
