Deffo!  Not the only thing that you'll be pulled up on with that sort of language.

Whilst I would normally just go ^^^^^ "What he said" on the safety bond side, there is no debat, any single point fixing requires a by-pass, yep, a Par64 6 Bar with "Aero-Stiff" (makes nylok look girlie) still need a bods capable of full arrest (IE Mass off thingy x potential drop x 9.81M/S x 6 to give UK 6:1 factor) so 2-3mm wire rope works in most situations, if you crimp it and get potential drop to 30mm you would be SHOCKED by the mass that can un-pin.

@ OP just spray the box matt black and add a few tie wraps!!
Kinda Been there, Kinda done that, YOU COULDN'T handle my bar bill!

I like those CPC boxes, under £2 for a IP65 box. Doddle to Steratt or punch holes for stuffing glands or connectors, and loads of colours to suit application.

I have some 1 in 4 out speakon boxes for 100V horns on stands, with chassis mount NL4 sockets. I tend to just cable tie them on as required.

Did think about a socket on the back.. like a 13A switched one. Iv internally cable tied it all so it has good stress relief but didn't want to the to the bar as they will always have all 4 cables used.

..maybe Velcro straps....

I had a load of those I made for myself some years ago. As they were permanently bolted to the bars , I also added a 16A appliance inlet to the back of the plastic box for power in and cable tied the output leads to the bar to stop them dangling down.
