Covered Jack
rdagger:
I want to add a jack to the front of my cab so I can plug in additional controls. The jack needs to have at least 4 pins, but I'm flexible on the type (molex, USB, XLR, DB9, etc...)
I'll probably put the jack on my coin door. Therefore, I want something very inconspicuous. I was hoping to find something covered. Possibly a black cover that you flip up.
Anyone know of any good solutions?

I would suggest using one of the 5 pin Din (Old keyboard plug type), the sockets are normally black and blend in quite well, (plus they are cheap, available with up to 9 pins, and fairly robust)
you may be able to find a clip on cover for the socket aswell (I know that some old handheld CB radios used to use them to seal up the external mic socket)
here is one in use (hacked into my old creative speaker system to replace the stupid custom plug that you cannot get spares for)
yes it really is that dusty where this sub lives

I found some cool Jack Covers but they are designed for 1/4" stereo plugs.

Thanks for the good suggestion, instead of the old style I decided to go with the newer mini keyboard DIN.

How about a USB extension cable?

You mount it on your CP box in the front for additional controls. Probably could mask the connection part and spraypaint it black.
