sPOD BantamX - 8 Circuit System (with LED Switch 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.

Need help wiring in your accessories? We do installs! Get in touch with our build engineers to discuss your needs- see below!

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. This is the LED Switch Panel model. Please look here for the BantamX Touchscreen Panel model or the BantamX HD Push Button model. For all three models, the BantamX 8 Circuit System is the same, but you have various options for how you want to interact with/control the system from within your vehicle.

The sPOD BantamX with LED Switch Panel is now eligible for Free Shipping to US addresses!

PLEASE NOTE: To insure the part number you order is compatible with your vehicle, please reach out to us with information about the make, model and year of your vehicle. 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. Also prepare to state your preferences for the following options:

• LED color choice for switch panel (Blue, Green, Red or Amber)
• Mounting brackets are not included in the base price, as they vary slightly in price depending on vehicle type (+$30 to +$33). 
• Choose to add Extended Battery Cable (84” instead of 36”) (+$15.00)
