Where do I find those recessed plug outlets for the outside of my cab!

Yeah, I immediately wondered why he wasn't choosing one with a fuse.  So, spacies, you're chopping the head off your strip to connect to this?

That would be the right thing to do.
Use the wire connectors to go on the tabs.
I tried soldering to it but it got too hot and melted the plastic rendering the unit useless.

I would also like to know the answer to this.  Does the thing go on the back of your cab so you can detach the power cord from the cabinet?  Kind of like how a computer or monitor work?

This would be much cleaner than cutting a hole in the cab for the plug of the smartstrip to go through and finding a grommet to make it look nice...

Very similar.
The only difference is the 'M' is a snap in.
This one is a screw in.

Ah, didn't notice that.  You definitely want a screw in for wood.

Yep that's where it goes.  Instead of cutting the end off the power strip and crimping to the tabs on this, I would consider leaving the powerstrip intact and adding either a cord with an female plug or an outlet in a box to the setup so that the powerstrip is reusable/replaceable.

Just buy a female plug and wire it to the back of the "power entry module"  and then plug the smartstrip into that.
